Internal Supermarket Monologue

Will it be crackers or detergent?
A brick of cheese or some creamy mayonaise
Cash or check
Right or Left?

Stop or go reflecting on god's ranch dressing
The windshield wipers screech to a halt
Bifocals clouded, I reach for my wallet
No lettuce in there.

I guess the crystal light
Ran away with my low fat heart

Eat or be clean in the first line sets the zany trip to the supermarket! Enjoyed the indecision as I've been there too.
