Coincidental Quirk

Why do I often get the shopping cart that doesn't work?
I swear, it is like some kind of coincidental quirk!
It is pulling me to the left with force as it moves,
Literally squealing like it has not wheels, but hooves!
I look like a drunk trying to get through the store,
Hurrying just to get a few things and get out the door!

That was funny and I hate when that happens. :) Especially when buying beer. You get home and open one and it sprays all over the place. :)

Oh yes! We share the same cart! And in Hallmark last week with two young grands and they can’t find the price. Eventually I pull out my phone and pull it write up! Merry Christmas, Heidi!
