Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Mom, Dad, and the Kids On a Shopping Spree

When the kids are in the shopping cart
  They never stop once they start
Mommy, Daddy, I want these cookies
This candy, this cereal, this pizza, this --
  They're pros at it, they never were rookies 

When Dad goes shopping, if he's alone
  He revels in his 'Comfort Zone'
I'll get this for my breakfast, this for my lunch
This for my dinner, and lotsa snacks, a whole bunch...

But when Mom goes shopping all by herself
Her only thought as she passes each shelf
  Is what my husband likes, and how 'bout the kids
  ~ Never once considers her own needs, God forbid

Marikate Kingston November 2, 2021 at 6:04 PM This is SO TRUE! When I ask my husband, "This dad" to go to the grocery store for milk, he comes back with a dozen other things. I confess I do the same when I go to Walmart for socks. This poem is funny. It made me laugh and smile! I'm glad I found it, so cute. Gershon Wolf November 2, 2021 at 6:27 PM Alright, Marikate! Keep smiling! ~ Laughter and Lightheartedness, Gershon

Debra L Brown October 15, 2021 at 12:09 PM Gershon... You must be a Philosophers... Such words of wisdom. Best wishes -Debbie Gershon Wolf October 15, 2021 at 12:13 PM Debbie, you are a mind-reader: I was striving for my PhD -- which stands for 'Piled High and Deeper' -- but I couldn't pile it high enough. LOL... Thanks for the encouragement, gw

Line Gauthier October 15, 2021 at 6:20 AM sooooooo true ~ Gershon Wolf October 15, 2021 at 12:01 PM Yup. I've always done the family shopping. Took me years to ask my wife what SHE would like, and even longer to ask my kids. Oh, well. Live and learn. Thanks, gw
