Oh God! Not shopping day again?
To top it off, they've forcast rain
I trawl the cupboards, write my list
I can't believe i'm doing this!
Keys in hand, list, clubcard, money...
"Im off now, see ya later honey"
I drive the car with grimmaced face
There'd better be a parking space!
I charge toward the shop - such folly
Scanning for a lonely trolley
Then in I go with muddied dread
4 pints of milk, 3 loaves of bread
Carrots parsnips, oh no, not the sprouts
Where women turn to fearsome louts!
Chicken, Chops, and Shephards pie
This place is nuts, no word of a lie!
Elbowed ribs and ankles rammed
It's like the village of the damned!
A potted plant, some shower gel
No toothpaste left? Oh ruddy hell!
"Excuse me, please move out the way
I haven't got all flipping day!"
"Thank God i'm done" I smuggly grin
Which checkout has the fewest in?
I pay the money for my loot
And wedge it somehow in the boot
Through traffic home I slowly crawl
How I hate the supermarket brawl!

lol It really is hell isn't it?
Everybody turns into a monster when they get into a supermarket. People tell their life stories in the middle of aisles, little brats run around like rats on caffeine and the guy comes on the PA announcing (far too loudly) that 'we've got a z-list celebrity coming in tomorrow for a book signing!', after which he hands over to the abysmal music they play to try and 'soothe' shoppers.
Shop around the corner, anybody?

Hi,
Terrific!! Just simply, terrific!!
Even the most mundane of chores can become
'warlike!'
Great write. There's humour in everything!!

Oh my goodness, this was fan-freaking-tastic!!! Had me literally LOL'ing! Not only did you keep me chuckling throughout, your rhyme scheme and flow is perfect!
Thank you for posting this.
Tim
Oh...and this?
Carrots parsnips, oh no, not the sprouts
Where women turn to fearsome louts! How true, how true, don't get in their way.
