From the sublime to the ridiculous?

Just a whimsy!

Cheers!

The Reluctant Shopper

 

He grumbles up and down each aisle
He winces at the till
He tries to flirt with the check-out girl –
She thinks he must be ill

More like a dreaded long-haul flight
Than a short domestic hop
He grumbles up the high street
As they land in every shop

“Does my bum look big in this?”
He really doesn’t care
A nymphette passes by at whom
He would much rather aim his stare

She remonstrates with him once more
“Your mind is really not on it!”
“Okay, okay, okay, all right –
I really love that bonnet!”

At last they find themselves at home
Relief and comfort shared
But he’d rather be in Paradise
If only he ever dared
