Lost at Tesco

tkatie118

I swear you seem familiar, I’ve seen similar,

I swear I’ve seen you,

Before, sometime,

You’re a door, hello door,

Welcome back

Oh my gosh, there are so many,

Can’t keep steady,

Freddy staying ready

 

Losing peace,

I’m losing peace,

Take a walk towards the shop,

Get a drink, before you leave

So I walk, it’s not that far,

But I can’t retreat

 

Somehow I’m lost,

Can’t find the bloody exit

Look at all the half price sales,

I buy them to obey them

There’s a missing youngster,

Wearing dark, now there’s your news

She’s somehow lost at Tesco,

But she’s mother loving hard to lose

 

I just passed the tills,

The freaking tills!

I can’t even find a bathroom

Hello door, there’s a door,

Oh my gosh, is that an exit?

It’s not an exit,

It’s a room to… oh my Lord!

 

I will find,

I’ll get out with time

Walk towards the front,

And ask a nice worker,

Avoid the scary man

Who works in the reception

 

Jesus, I’m trapped here,

I might as well move in here

Maybe I can get a discount,

Some money off my petrol

I should have gone to the Co-Op,

Or maybe I should have waited,

But at least the price of waiting is cheaper here than anyone I’ve dated

 

Just stand still,

If it moves you will

Alert the forest edge, that a gorilla just escaped,

But why is he wearing clothes?

Oh wait…

It’s a man…

I can’t escape,

No, I can’t navigate

You need a map and bag,

You need the expertise,

For I can’t see beyond

That god-damn sign, what’s it say?

Oh, “All that’s here is free!”

 

Wait until I get out!

…That’s if I get out,

I swear I’ll break down the door

I won’t curse,

I’ll say worse,

I’ll say something that’s envisioned,

That’s to be decided -

But it will be harsh

‘Cause understandably I am,

Insert an immersive emotion…

But now I’m a mother loving threat

 

Oh my god, I didn’t even make it through the front door!

    I've had that feeling when I've been shopping in large malls and worse lost my young children in them for more than an hour while i and security looked for them. Can be disorienting and frightening. Loved the poem

      Thank you so much. We’ve all been there. This is a lighthearted take on getting lost in the supermarket, I get lost all of the time. Thank you for reading.
