The Odious Shopping Cart

The Odious Shopping Cart By Elton Camp I circle through the parking lot Then an empty space I spot I’m just about to pull in A cart’s blocking it again Though the corral is nearby To put it away, they didn’t try Once I get into the store There’s a struggle I abhor All the carts are stuck tight To separate one is a fight When I try to roll ahead “Let’s go right,” it said Finally I get to the aisle There to have another trial Woman and cart in the way It’s in the middle she’ll stay Ingredients to slowly read Gives to others no heed Finally, back to the parking lot There, what shock I got On my car there’s a deep dent Where a run-away cart went Those odious carts I again curse To them, I am much averse
