When the Bait Shop Shut Down
a poem by NancyGene

When the bail shop shut down,
there were no more 5 for $1s:
some lived off their mammaries;
some delivered pizzas;
some were already poor;
some sought out sugar;
and books were remaindered.

A typo, or an oblique reference to Joey Stout?

Ah, a typo! That should be "When the bait shop shut down." It must have been the Muse, who insisted for Joey's sake that we include "bail." That won't happen, of course.

Our Muse has considered that since the bait shop was a one-stop shop, it would have offered bait, bail bonds, guns, ammo, moonshine, SandJobs, bad poetry books that no one wanted, peep shows, glory holes, self-conversion to Judaism kits, homemade pickles, and Eau de Brother Dave (aerosol). How could a place like that shut down?

Were it situated in any other area of our Country, one would assume it had been shut down by the Department of Health.

One can only guess that the bait shop down the road featured a cashier with a larger pair of DonkeyTits.

That could be. Also, selling homemade foods at retail establishments is against the law in Georgia:
"Cottage food products cannot be distributed or wholesaled to retail stores, restaurants or other institutions. To distribute, wholesale, and/or to sell products across state lines, a Food Sales Establishment License is required. Domestic kitchens cannot be licensed as food sales establishments."
https://www.pickyourown.org/CottageFoodLaws-Georgia.php#:~:text=Cottage%20food%20products%20cannot%20be,licensed%20as%20food%20sales%20establishments.
"If any of the canning steps aren't followed exactly, your new creation could become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria like botulism."

But were they being displayed in the same manner? Maybe it was a combination of the health department and viewer apathy? Customers may also have died from exposure to a rotten poetry book but the pickles instead were blamed?
