 He touched my heart

Goin shoppin


Well, I must dash off right this very hour,
There's a grand opening sale at the Myer Tower,
And while I'm out and about I'll also go,
Check out the bargains at the DFO.

My, what will I feed my hungry kids for tea?
Later I'll pick up a bargain from the local Aldi.
Shucks, my car is nearly out of fuel,
I need a Woollies voucher to save on that bill.

I don't need food from the Woollies market,
So I'll grab a DVD and some cleaner of carpet.
Topped up the car and back on the move,
I am an excellent shopper my day will prove.

Wow – look – an appliance closing down sale,
I'll replace the TV, ours is looking decidedly pale.
The store packed it into my already full car,
And off I went again looking overloaded and bazaar.

My tummy is rumbling, it's time for lunch,
There should be a bargain here was my hunch.
Sure enough the sign declared for all to see,
Buy a coffee and cake and get another one free.

Rushing to the car park back through the mall,
I heard a great announcement, an important call,
Provide your kids with the greatest encyclopedia,
Fully illustrated in the latest digital multi media.

Such wisdom for my kids was too much to miss,
So I purchased his special and left him with a kiss.
Then I realised this was software for a Mac,
So I dropped by Tandys and got an Apple Pack.

Back at the car I couldn't get it all in,
But I saw a large sign, my it brought a grin.
Run out sale now on Jeep Grand Cherokee,
That's the car for a discerning shopper such as me.

The deal was done complete with finance and ESP,
He through in a super boomer and waved the GST.
Don't forget to fill this Jeep at the diesel pump.
I haven't got a voucher! My throat got a lump.

Never mind, back to Woollies I sped,
Grabbed another DVD and a loaf of bread,
Filled up my new friend at the diesel pump,
That sales person really thought I was a dumb chump.

Oh dear, my head is beginning to wildly spin,
I need something stronger than standard aspirin.
This fever, how it makes me hallucinate,
It's time to get out of bed and remedicate.
