Gotta Run Down To the Store

DAMN it, you stupid old fart! Why did you pull out THAT cart? That cart with the wobbly front wheel And it squeaks! (How embarrassed I feel) Oops! Beg your pardon sweet ma'am Yes, I know who I think that I am (Crash) Oh good god mercy me "CLEAN-UP ON AISLE NUMBER THREE"

Haha... I enjoyed this short little piece... quite original. I felt like I was really there being hopelessly irritated by the squeaky wheels. Nice one!

One must have patience with these old farts, the modern day supermarket scourge. Talk about being oblivious, slow. I am one of these old farts and have bumped the person in line in front of me. Duh. Good work, young feller. Love, daver

Oh, that sailor sonnet you asked me about, it's just a regular English sonnet but I divided the stanzas in a bit of an unorthodox way. That is probably why you got confused!
