Good Shopping.

Goldfinch60



Now that’s what I call shopping!

Into the car I got at ten passed one,

Down the road I drove

Into the car park of the shop,

Very near the entrance.

Into the shop I went,

The shop assistant greeted me.

I showed him a picture,

A picture of what I wanted,

He said yes we have that,

He got a case of it

While I picked up a case,

A case of another I wanted.

We went to the till,

He had my details

As I had been there many times.

I paid for the two cases,

He took them out to my car,

I thanked him.

I drove home

And was back indoors,

Back indoors by half passed one.

As I was putting the wine in its place,

The Piersporter in the ‘fridge,

And the Rioja in the wine stand

I thought about it and realised,

Now that is what I call shopping.

          Now that’s the sort of shopping trip my husband loves. Sadly they tend to last much longer and can often be unproductive lol. I must confess, I might have to own up there!! We also love our wine. Happy Friday Andy. Enjoyed both Dean and your poetry.

          • Goldfinch60

            Yes most shopping trips do last much longer but this one was superb.
            Enjoy your wine Cassie but always in moderation.

                Dunno why you don't do it all online - you only have to get rid of the cardboard after....

                • Goldfinch60

                  Even on line they come in cardboard boxes Dave. I like seeing real people and we can chat face to face.

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    I was being a tad ironical, Andy. Shopping online usually results in more cardboard and packing in volume by a country mile than the item purchased. As an individual shopper it is sometimes possible to take your own container/bag.
