Ode to Publix

A poem

You have great cakes
And decent prices.
You are on every corner
In my adopted hot state
Of Florida
You give us vaccinations.
And you gave others money
As a rich Republican heiress
For the January 6th D.C. rally turned riot.
Oh, I have mixed feelings about you.
You give and give and take away.
How do you feel about me?
Am I just a human eater to you?

Vaccines at Publix
