Short Circuit

I think blue
By the time it comes out,
I’m asking for Green
I try on black,
But as I walk out
I’m hit by a smoke screen

I sprint towards the last Barbie
But by the time I get there
I’m sure my daughter
Would prefer the cuddly Bear.

I wander back to the Italian Soaps
Certain ’tis a gift with undeniable style
Determined I meander around curious ladies
But “What is that box in the Gourmet Aisle?”

Decorative boxes of Cake and Candy
Are good contenders now
But what do I then see?
A beautiful box of imported Tea!

Its over an hour
The Cart is empty
But I need to pick Something
Security cameras could be following me.

I now decide to pick up a hat
For my little one to wear at school
My eye catches a pair of thermals
My toddler could use a pair or two

 I throw it into the shopping cart
 

Beginning to feel good
I head back once again
To the aisle of Gourmet food

Biscottis or Cookies
What is a better choice?
Only if I was someone else
Someone more wise or organized!

I need to end this
I am fatigued
Shopping for anything
Is a pain indeed!

I finally reach home
And tiredly realize
I had gone on this crazy trip
Only to get a bag of rice !

Oi..
