Super Loo; Or Super You?

I've shopped in Asda for years,
And one time I used your loo,
But it was at the back and no good,
So I'm afraid it would not do!

Then you had a refurbishment,
But I never thought to try again…
The loo at the back of the store,
Cos I knew it was a pain.

But lo and behold this week,
I knew I'd have to ask…
If at all…you now had a loo,
And would it be a task?

But what a shock I got,
Me wheelchair got lost in the space,
I was able to glide around,
With ease, and total grace!

Now I have to be quite honest,
I've used some loos over the years,
And I always worry and fret…
Cos I can't help having fears!

But yours, I have no problem,
I can even open the door on my own,
And now I'll never, ever need help,
Cos I can go in on my own!

Believe me, I'm being honest,
Cos I've put them to the test,
You've really got a ‘super loo',
And by far it is the best!

So take a pat on the back,
Because thought went into the design,
You never forgot about us ‘wheelies',
And the result is perfectly fine!

Once more Asda comes up tops,
And trust me, I don't jest,
Totally wheelchair friendly,
You truly are the best.

I even get help with me shopping,
And as I swan around the store…!
There's always a helping hand or two,
That's why I come back for more…

So now may I reiterate…?
And thank you once again,
Especially for your super loo,
And I'm not pullin' your chain!

Asda's on the top of my list,
And there I'm sure it will stop,
Cos as I say, you are the best,
Definitely the pick of the crop!
