A tale I spin, so listen close, I've found, comes people from all over obnoxious and loud.

After hours of labor, in retail's lore,

A moment of respite, a gift to adore.

Oh, silence, you sneaky and elusive friend,

When the day feels long, you gently descend.

A symphony of peace, a temporary release,

From customers who clattered, their voices ceased.

With patience worn thin, and nerves on edge,

It's in your soothing quietude, I find my pledge.

To laugh at the follies, the absurd, the strange,

For amidst the chaos, hilarity knows no range.

Oh, the customers who shout and complain,

Their words like thunder, causing disdain.

Yet in these moments, the comedy unveils,

Their antics become jokes, their queries like tales.

From the man who demands, "Where's your shirts?"

As he confidently points to ladies' skirts.

To the lady who asks, "Are these grapes vegan?"

A chuckle escapes, for her question is beggin'.

I've encountered the lost, confused, and bemused,

Who ask, "Do fitting rooms have toilets?" Amused,

I smile and hold back laughter, with utmost grace,

For amidst the madness, joy finds its space.

Oh, silence, you give me a chance to reflect,

On the irony of it all, indeed, the perfect effect.

From the obnoxious laughter of children's toys,

To the shopper demanding, "Why's this item making noise?"

Silence, you gift me a moment of peace,

To recharge, rejuvenate, an inner release.

And with every rude customer's clamorous refrain,

I find solace in humor, laughter eases the strain.

So, let us celebrate these moments so true,

When silent camaraderie emerges anew.

For in the midst of retail's tumultuous fray,

Laughter and silence become allies, I say.

A reminder to cherish silence, so precious and dear.

For after the chaos, we can have a hearty laugh,

And embrace the joy in the absurd, on this retail path.
