Rhyme Time - For Contest

This morning I went shopping
Tripped over, started hopping
My milk bottle it went slopping
The store cleaner began mopping

I hobbled out of the store
Got caught in the sliding door
Lost my wallet and now I’m poor
I really can’t take anymore

Then I fell on to my knees
Dropped my bag and my car keys
Gave out a massive sneeze
And then began to wheeze

I found my red sports car
The door it was ajar
They’d stolen my Snickers bar
It really was quite bizarre

I jumped behind the wheel
I began to shout and squeal
Why my Snickers did they steal -
It really was quite surreal

My shopping trip was tough
I was feeling pretty rough
I drove off in a huff –
I’d really had enough 

Had an ache in my poor old head
Drove home and went to bed
Shopping trip left me half dead …
Will opt for home delivery instead!

I thought I’d pen a rhyme
With words that are sublime
I hope this one is fine
And in the list will shine

Old Buck Date: 6/4/2015 1:32:00 PM Jan: I can certainly understand your mourning the lose of a Snickers Bar. It's interesting how a well guided rhyme can take an "ordinary" day and make it sound so "magical". Well done. oldbuck Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/4/2015 1:35:00 PM I never know what will come out of my pen Old buck - i just have to go with the flow of my muse - this is total fiction but I guess it could happen lol:-) Hugs Jan xx
