The Express Lane

At the express lane at the local supermarket Don't try getting through with one over the limit Dirty looks you'll get And bad-mouthing I'll bet They'll push you down and stomp on your spinach

I love that art is left open to interpretation! I read this poem as true, but also hilarious! I love the spinach being stepped on. Thanks for writing!

Grr that gets my goat, bad manners, like folk who park close to the store in disabled bays and get out walking not a care in the world. Rant over. Good day Jack. Tom
