Mercantile
What do you mean?
I have heard the word
And maybe I knew it once
But not now
So I look it up on my phone
Magic?
Science!
There it is!
Adj.
of or relating to trade or commerce
Noun
a general store.
Look!
It’s dying
Right before my eyes
Left behind on my screen
Left behind in the 1920s
I shall miss you mercantile
You are such a nice word
That is trending down
