Two cars competing in the car park race
One space by the shop, the other across the way
Free for up to an hour then you’ll have to pay
Opt for the big one, as you’ve got food for the pet
You have a system in place walking up and down each aisle
With all the walking you’ve probably gone a mile
The old lady in front who suddenly stops still
Searching her pockets for her emergency pill
The kids whizzing past banging into each other
Looking around can’t seem to find their mother
The Christmas aisle already but it’s only just November
Is Christmas getting earlier or is it still in December?
The offers on chocolates are definitely not done
So I decide to buy a couple instead of only one
The young couple in love walking slowly hand in hand
Stopping at the CD collection to view their favourite band
Walking past the bakery and the odour of baking bread
Buying outdated loaves for the ducks that want to be fed
The busiest aisle where they sell the alcoholic beverage
Four bottles of wine a week is apparently he average
The middle aged couple planning for a party at the weekend
By the looks of their trolley they may need a liver to lend
Finally at the checkout but which want to go too
Self service, ten items or less or stand in the queue
My trolley full of crap and I forgot what I came for
Looks like I’ll be making another trip through this door
The girl on the checkout scanning my items quite rough
She best not squeeze my bread, as enough is enough
I refuse a bag for life as my other one lasted a fortnight
It seemed to snap, even though the items were very light
The big shop over for another week at last
And I’ve seemed to have met the supermarket cast
The bonus points tallied and the bags safely in the car
Three bruises from people and the trolley gave me a scar
