I’m a racist shopping trolley, I’m proud and happy and clean. I don’t like hanging around with trolleys rescued from the river, Beaten up all rusty, and mouldy, and green. I’m proud I look after my wheels, Never crashing into shelves in the store. I can’t stand those horrible trolleys that let themselves go, Making folks fight an unwinnable war. I’m a racist shopping trolley, I’ve a bright red handle and red baby seat. I can’t stand those blue handled trolleys, they look so different to me, They can’t even try to look red, I know, I’m better, I am elite.

Lewis, Ha, For some reason, I'm always stuck with a trolley reject. You know, the ones that make noise when pushing them. A great and fun read... Luv LINDA
