The Shop That Isn't There

 

A grandson clock, a football bat, 

Royal Worcester Tupperware: 

They stock the rarest items at

The Shop That Isn’t There.

 

A taxidermied fish that drowned,

The Dawkins Book of Prayer:

You’ll see them if you browse around

The Shop That Isn’t There.

 

A realistic mens' toupee,

Two-player solitaire.

You name it and they’ve got it chez

The Shop That Isn’t There.

 

A Richard Stilgoe Action Man,  

The shadow of Voltaire:

You’ll find them nowhere other than

The Shop That Isn’t There.
