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.

Terry Flood Date: 6/11/2021 12:38:00 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 Login to Reply Paula Goldsmith Date: 6/11/2021 1:02:00 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..................
