Mayhem in the Bread Aisle
Bread hit them like a ton of bricks.
Bread can make one very sick.
Man minding his own business,
Quickly became a mayhem witness.
The teenage four, like the Joker’s core,
destroying aisles in the grocery store.
On a hot eve, they hit my man with a fighting bag.
It’s all a game…received more than a finger wag.
Like all good criminals they

Dinner's A Chore
DINNER’S A CHORE
Dinner, my turn, nothing in the fridge
Off to market, be gone a smidge
Car won’t start, battery’s dead
Jump it, full steam ahead
Old gossips in the aisle, won’t move aside
‘Scuse me’ I croon, but they get snide
Right back I get crass
Suggest they kiss my ass

CLEAN UP ON AISLE SEVEN
There’s a robot
At the super market
It follows me
I guess I look clumsy
Its life consists of
Annoying me
By making a beeping noise
Whenever I block its progress
One day I told it
That its fly was open
Its response…

Up The Aisle
Jenny realised on her big day
Walking down the aisle
She was still in love with Ray
It was a hot day in May
The Groom was heard to say
The best man didn’t hear a thing
He just kept touching the ring
The Priest was a worldly Joe
But even he didn’t know
The events to take place
When the bride began to

Clean Up in Aisle Two
Through my little fingers I'd peek
When I was a kid I would freak
Watching wicked witch melt
Frightful fear I then felt
That I wouldn't bathe for a week!

discombobulation in aisle 16
give me your aorta ~ and in exchange i will give you a nice pulse
said the kidney bean to a cabbage heart ~ as it openly convulsed
but the black eyed peas protested violently ~ acting with impulse
of course i needed a leek pretty bad ~ and suddenly felt repulsed

Midnight Mecca
Fluorescent lights hummed
a monotone drone,
In the background,
the resonant chimes and dings
of the cash register sing.
A lone moth fluttered
past my empty dome
Light, purposeless,
similar to myself.
Glassy eyes wandered back,
staring deep into the infinite
assembly line I could not help
but lose myself in.
Neon nectars beckoned me
like a sugary siren,
I was a

This Sceptic Aisle
I dained that I'd distress the Dutch,
Refrain the French with such - and - such.
'Gainst Germans I'd my victory forge,
Churchillian chants in Cheddar Gorge.
Send Poles packing from our building site,
Put the Belgians - bang - too right!
Sink Spain's Armada with her men,
Stop the invaders once again.
To close the ports to Portuguese,
Then finish off the Finnish

Walking Down the Aisle
Wedding bells are ringing,
Love floating in the air.
Hearts forever singing,
All joy and no despair.
The Bride in satin lace,
Looking like a Queen.
The Groom with pensive face,
So nervous at the scene.
The Father escorts Bride,
Walking down the aisle.
He's bursting out with pride,
But wears a casual smile.
Standing face to face,
The wedding vows are read.
No dry eye in the place,
After

Blue Light Special In Aisle Three

Gloria had no idea what this announcement could be.

she tossed in two packages on top of her kitty cat Clive.

Aisle of Shocks
reflecting what ceases
a season from fully blooming.
Spring ‘21 was set to boost,
but mom died and I couldn’t
take those walks, except
down the aisle of shocks.
Autumn ‘22 brings covid
not a rousing stroll, indoors.
I have invited Autumn in.
H o p e - a door.

Choice-Wise
Annette Arnold had recently left college
And was thrust into flimsy dating realms;
She grabbed pen and paper to describe
Top-choice dude of her fanciest dreams.
Dashingly handsome and of complexion nice,
And gallant gait akin to quaint legends' knight;
Sainted for inventive hare's monstrous brains,
Whose vast wit tales eternalize in folios white.
Certainly wielding humongous fiscal sway
At glance

Heartstrings
You severed me for your paramour,
My first love, you are mon amour,
Doxy of love surround your heart,
Betrayed in the lanes of my sweeheart,
Sweeping the hectic lanes,
Sleeping in the lonely fanes,
I feel solaced in this heavy rain,
Why is this pity a condolement of pain?
Sire of our children, am a lone parent...
Squire's
