Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

The Express Lane

At the express lane at the local supermarket
Don't try getting through with one over the limit
Dirty looks you'll get
And bad-mouthing I'll bet
They'll push you down and stomp on your spinach

Tom Cunningham March 1, 2020 at 6:25 AM Grr that gets my goat, bad manners, like folk who park close to the store in disabled bays and get out walking not a care in the world. Rant over. Good day Jack. Tom Jack Ellison March 1, 2020 at 6:36 AM The Handicap bay gets me the most!!!!!! Grrrr! The audacity... the sheer disregard... total jerks!!!
