The perils of the Trolley

I think to get the full impact of this then it helps if you live in a holiday town.

 

 

 

Of everywhere in Cornwall

 I don’t really want to be

Without a doubt

You’ll hear me shout

‘’Is Tescos after 3’’

 

Especially in the summer months

On sunny Saturdays

There’s scores and scores

Of four by fours

Parked neatly in the bays

 

They’re armed with lists and cards and cash

For a fun filled shopping mission

Mum’s in the lead

The rest take heed

To assume their best position

 

To crowd around the baked beans

And swarm around the snacks

Their trolley groans

The Dad’s all moan

Stockpiling  multipacks

  

They bicker over biscuits

They squabble over pop

Kids start to whinge

Mum comes unhinged

While Granny throws a strop

 

And when they reach the checkout

With nerves all frayed and fraught

They’ll all complain

And show disdain

At the cost of what they’ve bought

 

So my advice to all you mothers

That have travelled from afar

Shop alone

Leave them home

Or lock them  in the car!
