                            Thanks to the Dim Bulbs

I needed a light bulb from the hardware store

And for a gadget three D-cell batteries

The light bulb was nine dollars (I passed it by)

But bought the batteries for eight dollars each 

I think we’re all going to be shopping more now

In the recesses of closets and kitchen shelves

And maybe behind the dryer for an errant sock

And stretching the sell-by dates a week or two

But let us be thankful that we do have light bulbs

And rooms in which to enjoy their glow
