The Narrow Squeak 2nd Show Chapter Six

What next? You may ask? 
My next task? 
I have done deep underground....... 
Sharks I have found... 
Ice and snow 
All for the show! 

I know! 
The ultimate stress test 
A shopping test around tesco! 
Nothing can be missed. 
On a crowded day...... 
The trolley dance! 
My last chance! 

To  conquer each aisle........ 
Requires cunning and guile. 
Fighting to the bitter end 
Defeating shopping trends 

I must be off my trolley! 
Shoppers ' folly! 
Good golly! 

I have my shopping list 
It is saturday 
I am ready to start.... 
I let off a nervous fart....... 
Is there anything I have missed? 

The whistle blows 
Here it goes! 
Shoppers heaven! 
Starting sharp at eleven! 

Dodgems have nothing on this...... 
That was a near miss! 
Crowded aisles! 
Trolleys for miles! 

Stress? 
Oh yes! 
I am on course 
Aisle three 
Damn! 
Spaghetti is in aisle two! 
You silly moo! 

This is the hardest thing 
that the producers can bring 
Shopping! 
Give me space fright, 
pirates too.... 
All the gold 
Simply won't do! 

Shopping....... 
The most frightening thing 
Boy! Did I sweat! 
You can bet........... 
I won't do this again! 
Are you insane? 

This is tough! 
I have had enough 
My hardest assignment so far... 
It's hard being the star! 
Shop until you drop 
That I couldn't top 

I must try something new 
for chapter seven! 
Even if it kills me too!
