Waiting Woes

Hurry with their groceries. Don't wait till I am overseas. I'm asking where's the bagger. If I do it I will stagger. Why are the lanes so empty? The people are of plenty. Where are all the checkers? You're a bunch of home wreckers. I was due home two hours ago. Why are they going oh so slow? It's past my dinnertime. It's supposed to be my dime. My shoes are hurting my toes. It's the day of waiting woes.

Now use of words. Our new world. More waiting and less things to buy. I liked the honest tone and the realism of the words. Thank you dear Angela for sharing the interesting words.

Thank you, John for commenting. I was grocery shopping the other day and found myself getting frustrated. I even had to bag my own groceries. When I returned home I decided to write about it. :)

Thank you very much! I'm not sure if people are reading the flow of my poetry the way I am. I really appreciate you saying that. :)

We all have our problems. Too many cars on the roads. ~~
