Don'T Believe Everything You See

I met a guy in the dairy section of my local grocery store He was carrying an over-the-shoulder, leather purse He had a purple scarf around his neck, what could be worse? The fellow was driving a great big, black funeral hearse! A buxom young lady was shopping in the produce aisles I could have sworn she had had extensive lipo-suction Her enormous biceps were a work under construction She had three children with her, an obvious deduction. I moved on to the meat department and stood watching An old lady maneuvering an enormous motorized grip Ordered a butcher to cut her a three-pound New York strip While she was waiting she did a perfect backward, reverse flip. Tell me, before I go stark raving, mad-as-a-hatter crazy I am jumping too quickly to unwarranted conclusions That after what I saw I should immediately go into seclusion It only seems that way; clearly, I am victim of my own delusions.
