Shopping alone

It was raining, she didn't want to go out
watching the funeral of a famous singer 
the mourning took all day, playing him 
singing when he had hair and was youngish
I drove to the supermarket that had 
indoor parking.
the car found its own way to the spot 
reserved for the invalids, put her
walking stick near the car window, so
everyone could see the person's car 
was legally parked, and in case someone
watched me, I and walked unsteadily
 to the entrance of the market
On my list, was a tin of peas, I found the shelf
grabbed a tin, and by doing so three more tins
fell to the floor, I pretended it had nothing
to do with me and walked to the fruit 
section looked at my note 5 bananas 
There is a cluster of bananas, to get five
I had to wrestle them loose  damaged 
two bananas I also forgot to weigh the fruit
and put the price on a plastic bag
I picked up a sweet bucket of low-fat yogurt  
it had a plastic handle when lifting it 
the handle broke.
Among many things, she had wanted a bottle
of beer, there were many bottles on a shelf
to be safe I picked the first bottle in
the line, the one alone to avoid knocking down
other bottles
By now I was low on blood sugar, nerves and
diabetes go hand in hand
At the til I paid with cash, a card was out I would
forget the code monetarily
I have four pockets in my trousers, two side
pocket, two in the back
My wallet is always in the last pocket I try
Finally, I put my shopping in a new paper bag 
by opened too abruptly it broke, but they kindly
gave me another bag
In the car, I was safe, ate some sweets and 
drove out with alacrity
