A Broom or a Car?

I’d take a broom over a car any day.
I imagine taking care of the homestead,
I am reconsidering the values of my ancestors
That somehow got along without interstates or malls.
Sure I buy clothes but only at half price.
Anyway, I hate movie theaters.
Not sure but it has something to do with over priced popcorn, video games, and a movie
A movie that I pretty much don’t like
Like the rock stuck on the bottom of my shoe.
I try to kick it off or roll the pebble off onto the linoleum.
