Waiting At the Grocery Store

I am parked in front of a store
There is hamburger inside with my man
He asked if I wanted to come in.
Not on your life.
I have already spent fifty dollars today
On doggy treats at the dollar store
The daily limit I allow myself to spend
Here he comes now
With a giant sack
Full of goodies
He never limits himself

We used to have to restrain ourselves, now we buy idiotic things willy nilly, it makes us feel clever.
