What a Life

Off the shelf into the trolley Pushed between the carrots and cauli On the belt and codes to swipe Next to bananas all over ripe Push in the bag , throw in the boot Next to the veg and all the fruit Thrown in the ice box , squashed to hell How long in here , no one can tell Pull for the depths and chopped for the pot Tossed in the pan , water all hot Boiled to depth , drained and dressed Put on a plate with all the rest Sliced yet again and shoved in a mouth Crashed by the teeth then swallowed down south Attacked by bacteria, acid as well Grounded to a pulp, then a journey from hell Hours go by as I wind round the pipe Rumbling noises as I give him the gripe Forced through a gap, nearly airtight Ending my life as a stick of brown shite !!
