Supermarket match
Supermarket match
I thought I’d go to Morrison’s, to find myself a mate,
I’d heard that if I walked the aisles my chances would be great
So I chose a wire basket then stood perusing peas,
Hoping none would notice I’d a wobble in my knees
Alas I got no offers… except that two for one
Left alone and wishing that I had never come
I thought my empty basket told I was solo and untaken
But in my sad deductions, I was very much mistaken
I lurked by the bananas. I hovered by the cheese
All alone and friendless…. no one to even tease
Not a soul of interest to ease my sorry plight,
None there under eighty to take me out tonight
Oh drat it, can’t be bothered, I’ll just get a box of chocs
With a bottle of fine brandy, another night in with the box.
