supermarket


I saw my past in the supermarket

I saw my past by the tinned beans
Wearing my old ‘T' shirt and faded dreams
Checked out together before
 The shopping delivered to the same door
A sighed hello with a fake smile
Hopes trolley dashed up the aisle
Up the aisle and through the pews
Perished goods in yesterday's news

How are you past I nearly cried
No-one stood by her side
Alone at last give it rice
She can't resist my Asda price
I fell away before the dance
Remembered why I spurned my chance
Grabbed my basket best take care
My cupboard has no space for her

For though her store is rich with spice
I must resist her tender vice
Her passion fruit her angel wings
Be purchased with a golden ring
That once adorned will say the bard
Give access to my credit card
And free to read of my account
A spending spree of large amounts

Not happy with a shopping trip
Or even vows from our lips
Wifely domain would hurt my world
New husbandry would harm my girls
Give the past a decent grave
In future shop at Kwik Save
