Sheer Shopping Madness

You're off and running once again

The day has just begun

The electronics store, the big box stores

Remember when shopping was fun?

You're out of breath thinking about it

Heart's pumping a mile a minute

You try to check out your harried brain

But you can't find anything in it!

So there you go, you're on your way

Your mind's all a-flutter

Careful now, watch where you're going

You almost stepped in the gutter!

Your eyes are glazed and tearing up

With a look that's totally blank

Sure hope your purchases are covered

With enough moolah in the bank!

Your tiny brain is filled to the top

With a myriad of important thoughts

Then finally the shopping is over

And every damn thing is bought!

All shopped out so now you plop

In your comfortable easy chair

The madness is finally behind you

As your snoring fills the air!
