Is It June Or October

Today was my shopping day,                                            my once a week day to go out.                                        I could not believe my eyes,                                            as I went down the grocery aisle.                                    Did I just see a big cow,                                                  at the end of the aisle?                                                    Are my eyes deceiving me,                                              I ran to the next aisle to see this big cow.                        Right in front of me a big cow,                                        as I rubbed my eyes yes a big cow I did see.                    A shopper in cow pajamas she did wear,                          with black furry slippers.                                                It is not October,                                                            not a time for costumes.                                                I laughed until I cried,                                                    then I did my shopping.                                                  At home no one believed me,                                          guess you needed to see it to believe it.                          After all who could believe a big cow,                              shopping down the grocery aisles.                                    It is June,                                                                      have people gone crazy.

I am so glad you believe this story because it is true. At another store. This mother a grown daughter got out of their car in their PJ's and fluffy slippers. The world has gone mad/crazy.

Gershon Wolf June 13, 2021 at 11:31 PM Maybe she had intended to storm the White House on January 6, but she got lost somewhere along the way!! lol. Utterly ridiculous, of course. ~ A mooving write!

Terry Flood June 11, 2021 at 12:38 PM Ahem, you're not supposed to drink the vodka until you get home, Paula. Actually, thinking back a few years, we had a chap who used to walk the streets in full Nazi uniform including holster (which I presumed was empty). So maybe it is everyone else who’s lost the plot. Fun write, Paula. Terry Paula Goldsmith June 11, 2021 at 1:02 PM Thanks for writing. I was not drinking. A drink may have made it better. Glad you like this crazy but true write. When I was young, people did care how they looked when they went out of the house. The world has gone crazy. Have a blessed weekend..................

L Milton Hankins June 11, 2021 at 12:10 PM In short, Paula, yes some have. You can see anything these days in your local Walmart. I try to avoid them. Enjoyed your poem. Paula Goldsmith June 11, 2021 at 12:55 PM Thanks for writing. Yes, we see everything these days when we go shopping. People did care how they looked when they went out of the house. It is like watching a crazy world in real time. Have a blessed weekend..................
