Cart Riding At My House

Hello I am Dollar Store Diva
Saturday is my shopping day
I take my friend Steve-ah
We are heading your way

We used to get a cart full
But now there are only three
Used to be fourteen
Most have been borrowed by likes of me

I take them to my apartment
Just whizz them around the room
Want to cart ride at my house?
You’d better get there soon

I have heard a rumor
The police are on their way
I am tossing them out the window
Jail fines I cannot afford to pay.

You can tell the police that you've borrowed the cars for a go-cart track. It didn't work for me, but I'm a man. You can cry them a river...

At our dollar store they used to have 14 carts -they are down to three; the manager told me. They are across the street from Section 8 housing - mostly old and disabled people. I think they are using the carts for walkers.

Oh my, this is so clever and funny. Occasionally I hit Dollar Store. Don't we all?

Yes we do! But with Joe and I it is weekly - every Saturday. We both save $5 off a $25 purchase.
