Walking the Aisles

Walking The Aisles

To go to the store is not fun anymore.
In fact, it’s more like a chore.
You wanted to shop, but kids make you stop
As they occupy all of the floor.

The kids today just won’t make way
To those who are old and gray.
They block the aisles; there are no smiles, 
Just get out of my way!

No manners are there, kids just won’t share
As they walk the aisles as a pair.
But one day they’ll see, they’ll be old like me,
And proclaim “Hey, that’s not fair!”

You are in good company with this complaint. Plato once wrote about how ill-mannered children were.
