The Shopping Trolley

Early morning and it is still dark. An abandoned shopping trolley stands alone in the centre of the car park. I take pity and return it back to its home and the company of its own kind where it rejoins the others in their long coitus line.

Thanks Deb for your kind words...I put it down to rather odd wiring to my imagination....I attribute personalities to anything I come across...in this case the humble trolley. Take care, Paul

oh that final line is so true and made me giggle thanks Paul I really needed it today! - i will always think of copulating trolleys when I see them in the supermarket - makes me thankful I usually use a basket in the shops or I would be carrying a Kleenex tissue to wipe the trolly down lol

Probably betrays a warped imagination but I am thankful it gave you a few smiles. Let's face it, trolleys would have a pretty dull existence without a little fratinising. Thanks Jan for reading and yr comments... Smiles, Paul
