Food Shopping

When you go shopping, do you browse And stroll up all the aisles, Searching for surprising “Wows!” That might elicit smiles? Or do you clutch your list in hand And check off every item That’s always purchased as you planned Each time, ad infinitum? No matter how you shop, at least When you’re back home, unpacking, You’ll know that chances have increased For some impromptu snacking.

Ah, human nature. I do the shopping weekly and always write a list… a different column for each store I’ll visit and listed in the order I’ll find things in the store. It never changes… I should have it tattooed on my arm. Sometimes, I mislay the list and have to go by memory… I never get it wrong! But, yes… that irresistible something always seems to leap into my trolley (cart)… I’m left wondering, Ilene… are you having me followed? Marvellously observed. Terry
