Shopping
by George HoernerUp and down the aisles looking
The cart has one bad wheel
Thats Ok not much is needed
Let me see sporting goods?
No, maybe household
This store is huge
I could walk for hours
Sorry, I didn't mean to bump
I wouldn't expect it with produce
Salad stuff, fruit, onions,
First aisle is bread etc
Next salad dressing and condiments
Frozen foods, milk, eggs, butter
How about clothing
No it wouldn't be there
Automotive? Pet food, no
No one seems to work here
I'll try pharmacy
At least I can
Ask someone
Can you tell me where
I can find
Souls here?

Delighted. Thanks. |
