The List

My wife asked me to do the shopping Then handed me a grocery list It wasn't very big just some household stuff And some other things that she had missed "Piece of cake," I told my wife And out the door I went She yelled, "Don't forget to get a receipt, So I can see how much you spent" I got to the market and headed for the milk It wasn't on the list per se But being the man who knew what he wanted I thought I'd get it anyway Then I strolled on over to the frozen meat And pick up some T-bone steaks Again, the list didn't have it written down Just another one of her mistakes I had to get some snacks for the football game Cause a man can't have enough I didn't check the list to see if it was there Cause I was busy doing other stuff Before I knew it the buggy was full Okay, maybe there were three But look at all this stuff I got She'd be so proud of me Nine hundred dollars and fifteen cents And man my wife was pissed I spent a whole months budget in twenty-five minutes And didn't buy a thing from the list

Been there, done that! (not nine hundred, but in as much trouble) Shopping ain't my thing! I don't really know what "my thing" is but it definitely ain't shopping! Excellent write, Larry. Ralph
