DISASTER AT THE SUPERMARKET
BY DOREENY OCTOBER 2007 ©

It was one Friday afternoon when it happened to me
 At the Supermarket as usual for the weekly groceries you see
So I picked up my trolley cart, the only one left in the bay
It seemed a bit wobbly and it’s got no vegetable tray

With no choice off I go and enter through the swing doors
Plenty to get and short of time, oh’ look at those delicious crab claws
It was on the vegetable section when the trouble began to start
I had hit the cauliflower boxes, with the corner of my cart

Look out I heard someone shout they are all rolling down the aisle
They will end up on the next counter all in a mashed up pile
My embarrassment is obvious as my face goes scarlet red
How I wish I was at home with a nice cup of tea instead

Well I manage to sort the cauliflowers and proceed once more
Being careful this time so nothing else ends up on the floor
I get all my vegetables and am now in the bread stall
All of a sudden I hear a crash again, bread rolls are starting to fall

It was not me I was nowhere near I said this time
The Manager glares as if I have committed a crime
Now feeling quite upset as everyone starts to stare
I decide to quickly move on as fast as I dare

On the last aisle now, just pop and juice to get
But yes you have guessed it, another disaster to be met
Pop bottles this time left on a corner of the floor
I didn’t see them; crash they were rolling towards the door

I am now very flustered, its this wobbly trolley cart
With it’s jerking and stopping every time I try to start
I hurry to the check out and pay as fast as I can
Don’t want to meet up again with that angry Manager man.

So when you go shopping always check your trolley wheels
They can cause you lots of trouble, and you’ll end up with no meals
You may send the vegetables crashing and bread and pop as well
Don’t end up like me and have such a silly silly shopping tale to tell.

"It was on the vegetable section when the trouble began to start..." ---Isn't that always the way? LOL... ;-) I HATE it when I get stuck with a wobbly shopping cart! It may be "silly, silly," but it hits very close to home. Fun story Doreen, and well told as usual. :-)
