STREET SHOPS

The butchers on the corner isn't there anymore 
Pulled down for fancy flats I know for sure 
The paper shop doesn't trade and has disappeared 
No shops on my street which is really weird

The hairdresser no longer styles ladies hair 
Must be at least five years since it was there
The general store where once everyone met 
Is now an eyesore everyone wants to forget

So sad to see a street without any shops 
The bus into the city fortunately still stops
Takes you to a supermarket where I know for certain 
Has left the street shop singing the final curtain
