The Shopping Cart Upon my veritable throne I survey subjects of sundry colors, cans and jars, packets and bags arrayed in reverent order before me. I am appointed, by natural virtue captain of this mighty ship past denizens of the white-tiled, polished sea steered through (a)isles by two sturdy hands.
