It's An Oxymoronic World

I took my kids to the Country "Fair" Where every price sure was not Like five dollars for a cup of coke Seven to ride the tea pot! My young son fell off the pony ride So drove off to "Urgent" Care We spent so long in the waiting room My mail was delivered there! This morning went shopping at "Whole" Foods For our weekly food need list I couldn't buy a whole cart of food Sure meat will never be missed. Then I left to see my relatives On the "Turn"pike in P-A I missed my exit and you know what You can't turn around, no way!!! This sad oxymoronic nightmare Happens more often than not Go to Dollar Store with just a buck Nothing will cost what you've got! 8/27/2016

Loved the no turn on the turnpike, like driving on the parkway, and parking in the driveway, go figure! Great write and a great win!
