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.

They are mostly on a coin system over here Paul - I'm fretfully trying to figure out what I've inadvertently been part of all these years. Those trolleys! Crafty fetishists - I never suspected a thing! Lol

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
