To me, such functions are like supermarket openings.

Functions
Functions are held so that hosts are focused.
Functions are held so that guests are spotted.
Functions are extravagant meeting grounds.

And our big theme has been, you have made so much progress, we urge you on with the openings and market openings that have occurred. They clearly work and continuing on that path will produce further growth and further opportunities for the Indian people.

Fair Openings
Of humankind and of love,
Of humankind and of peace,
But yesterday is gone too soon;
Abd we are faded in the age of love.
He will put his head up and she will put her tail up,
Softly and sweet to the taste of things;
And like fair openings of the graves.
See the sankes that they rear,
In this era of the computer age;
And of their nakedness as seen in the bush,
But the fair openings are like the crystal gleaming.
If there is no sex it is enough for the day,
But if there is sex then let it produce a baby;
And like a chosen leaf at the gate of Eden.
To see it by moonlight and to use it by daylight,
And like my first love at school;
But my second love was a t the place of work,
And in my death i will have my third love.
I am alive and kicking,
And like the beautiful and the brave!
But today i am very handsome and lovely.
Sea-birds of love and of the fair openings,
The morning star is here to stay with us all;
But in the noontide i will be with you my lover.

A Backhanded Compliment For Carrefour

Carrefour is supreme

major Cairo Carrefour
supermarket completely
looted was selected
as protesters first choice
in shelf clearances.

The Supermarket
I paid a visit to the shops,
On the arrival my wits died;
Money was exercised and I was made,
My own business stayed in the eyes,
The money made me rich and also richer.
No game was in the air, the shops,
The shops, and more shops.
This was a supermarket bustling with goods,
Food employed me to encounter it,
The wit of dying came to ruins,
The care of dying was living,
And this was the supermarket.

At the Supermarket
At the supermarket,
The produce is stacked to the ceiling
And the fresh fruit
Is at the bottom.
You may feel pings
Of in di gestion
After eating
The ones
The The
theXXXXX1XXXXX1s
at
the
top
of the heap.
At the supermarket,
Boxes are placed neatly in rows,
Perhaps even single file,
Marching in procession
Into consuming hands.
I'm sure they'll be ripped
O
pen
And ravished into cardboard ashes
When mom brings them home
To the kids.
At the supermarket,
Fish are packed tightly in tin cans,
Swimming nowhere in a packaged sea,
Salted for extra flavor…
Or was it to keep them from disintegrating?
Some cow's leg
Is slopped into a plastic wrap,
Blood still oozing out from the muscle.
A pig is split in half, Gutted and beheaded—
Put on a rotisserie
To spin around on the
Artificial fire.
Several chickens are neighborly
To the slab of pig carcass;
They also spin around and around
On the trochllic stick.
It's almost like
An amusement park ride
For dead animals.
Except it's not.
It's not. It's not. It's not.
At the supermarket,
The aisles caress my blind spots.
Above me:
Phosphorescent light.
Below me:
Linoleum tiles.
Straight ahead, it appears as if the tunnel of my vision narrows,
restricting me a single speck of light for my focal point. Behind
me, things are much more obtuse, widening as I pass.
My cart wobbles as I push it.
Rickety squeaks emit from the
Dilapidated wheels.
It sounds like shaking cutlery
As my steps progress
Into another hallway
Of white nowhere.
At the supermarket,
They toss my belongings
In a disposable plastic bag
Or a paper one
That says recycled
Somewhere on it,
But I know better.
I'll throw it out
Anyway. Who cares? ?
Not me.
Not me.
Not me.
Not me.
Not me.

Calculus
Zero divided by one is zero,
but it bothered me
from my first conception
of mathematics
that one cannot
be divided by zero
and that it is incalculable.
When I found Calculus
new horizons
opened for me
and I saw mathematics
in another light
and I could find
how one approaches zero
and suddenly
Algebra became clearer.
At first the Calculus dragon
tried to incinerate me
and lengths, volumes and areas
looked like madness to me,
but later I understood the functions
and derivatives
and exponents
and logarithmic functions
became clear to me.
I understood that real numbers
have no greatest
or smallest number
and that there’s always
a larger number
that goes on infinitely.
Limits, gradients and curves,
maximum and minimum values
of functions
and rates of change
and integration and differentiation
made that I
could write my own formulas
and could solve problems
that where unsolvable before
and the Calculus dragon
protected me
and became my pet.

Ancient Cultural Architecture
modern supermarket
erected among ancient
cultural architecture
screams I don't
believe in the past
those feelings are gone
have nothing to do
with modern hunger
people must all eat
behold my location
prime central land
people swarm to buy
purpose is everything
location is central
behold aged supermarket
no longer trendy
drawing large crowds
soon pulled down
classic supreme architecture
watches young pretenders
age come go failing time tests

Down the Sweet Shop
The little corner shop
full of special treats
Chocolate, bottles of Pop,
and jars and jars of sweets.
With pocket money in hand
given to me by my Dad
sometimes a little bit extra
if he heard I'd been a good lad.
I really loved that little shop
it was every young boys dream
you could get everything you'd want
Football Cards, Toys, and Ice-Cream.
My dad used the shop as well
he'd pop in to buy his fags
and Mum did her weekly shop
she'd get me to help her with the bags.
Then along came the big supermarket
the little shop began to lose it's trade
so sadly it had to close it's doors
an end of an era again I'm afraid.
But I'll always remember the little shop
stood there at the bottom of our lane
yes it may have only been small
but it had more style than any supermarket chain!

Apples And Oranges
Got a flip-top pack of cigarettes in her pocket
Feeling good at the top
Shopping in sharp shoes
Walking in the sunshine town feeling very cool
But the butchers and the bakers in the supermarket stores
Getting everything she wants from the supermarket stores
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Cornering neatly she trips up sweetly
To meet the people
She's on time again
And then
I catch her by the eye then I stop and have to think
What a funny thing to do 'cause I'm feeling very pink
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
I love she
She loves me
See you
See you
Thought you might like to know
I'm the lorry driver man
She's on the run
Down by the river side
feeding ducks in the afternoon tide
(quack quack)
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges

Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones smile down to let us know that they are happy.
I have never in my life played the French Defence, which is the dullest of all openings.

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
Supermarket automatic doors open for me; therefore, I am.
