At the Mall
As soon as I stepped through the doors of the mall
I ran into two old friends John and Paul
They were with two girls the first named Karen
And I think the other girl was named Sharon
I went to the supermarket to get an Iced Coffee
In the lolly section I couldn’t resist the old English toffee
As I headed to the checkout I bought a cold soft drink
Only to find the cash register was on the brink
An apology given accompanied by a wink
Next I went to the pet store
Which is to the right on the second floor
I was irritated to find five puppies in a small cage
Subsequently I felt anger and rage
I wanted to free them before it was too late
Images like these feel your heart with hate
I then went to the music shop
To buy a CD anything but POP
I bout a CD by 30 Seconds to Mars
And a CD entitled for guys who like cars
I went to a shop called the electronic boutique
Because the prices are good and products unique
I purchased a game for the Playstation 2
And had my eye or more than a few
I went into the newsagency to get a paper
I came out with a ruler, pencil case and even a stapler
I bought a magazine on the world cup of cricket
And purchased a concession multi-trip bus ticket
With both hands full I decided I needed a trolley
As I stepped outside into the rain I regretted not bringing a brolley
I went to the food court to get something to eat
Couldn’t decide between chicken or red meat
I bought a smoothie from the fruit bar
And next door purchased a lottery ticket to win a car
I went to the chemist to put in a prescription
While I was there a shoplifter was getting a police led eviction
I walked past a group of kids hanging out the front of some shops
Being intently watched by security and the transit cops
I went to the jewellers to obtain a watch
I ended up purchasing a two-toned swatch
I went to the department store to get some shoes and socks
And ended up with a shirt and a ten pack of jocks
I went to the discount store to get a birthday card
There lack of variety made the selection quite hard
Went to the cinemas to see what was showing
Crowded with kids my impatience was growing
I decided it would be best to wait till next week
I wonder if then they will still be showing wolf creek
I decided it was time to leave as I had purchased enough
The trolley was full of so much stuff
That was my experience at the mall
A place where if you spend cash you can have a ball
