The Little Shop of Horrors

So sorry, little shop. I know you're lovely in your blue livery and you're a sweet little shop really. And yes, I know you sell sweets - lovely old fashioned sweets like humbugs, pear drops and barley sugar twists, all from tall glass jars. I can even see them in your window. And you have a lovely seat outside under the tree where we can sit in the sun. But you also sell the dreaded weed. Everyone can see that from your name. And today that is deeply, deeply unfashionable and unhealthy, and your proper name might just offend lots of people's sensitivities. So you see, I just had to rename you.
(This little shop is the third in the trilogy of shops on the corner, next to the Deli of May 12 and the Flower Shop of May 15)
