Notes About The Poem

Posted 6/2/25.     8x8x8x8 contest.    sponsor. Charles Messina 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Supermarket Frustration

Shopping today was a right pain
Stopping in aisles, searching again
Trying to guide useless trollies
Buying stuff like chips and lollies
Strained up high to the topmost shelf
Drained all my strength, frazzled myself
Standing in line to pay the bill
Landing back home, ready to kill.

Many thanks, Andrea. I do like a rhyme with a little bit of humour helps to brighten the day. Cheers
