Walking My Tiger Home
Didn't have an auto
and thought I ought to
take a walk up to
the store,
the cupboards were
getting bare and I
was hungry and my
stomach was starting
to roar and rumble,
going in the store
stared doing my
grocery shopping,
then went straight
back to aisle 11
since I didn't
eat any breakfast,
immediately saw my
fave and put it in my
cart so I could go
to the check out,
holding the bag of
my goodies started
the walking back
home process,
all the while my stomach
acted up and growled
and grumbled,
while holding my grocery bag
with my box of Frosted Flakes
with a picture of Tony the tiger on it,
then my fella called me
on my cell phone and
asked me if I had
bought him his steak,
I replied, "have no fear
I bought that and
the usual cereal my dear
because they taste
grrrrreat!"...
then I popped opened my umbrella
while my stomach incessantly
growled and rumbled while
walking my tiger back
home in the inclement
weather...
