Six carrier bags, handbag and an umbrella as well My pockets are full of receipts, it is like a living hell. Tempers are boiling, my blood pressureβs sky high Feet are throbbing and I am ready to cry, My mind had gone blank and my clothes are a mess What I look like is anyoneβs guess. My face is without make up and my hair need a comb What I would really like to do is to go on home. But I have to keep going, I have to shop If I stand in one more queue I will drip. My feet are now yelling that they hate me And all that I need now is a good cup of tea. My time is spent in the endless queue And I am desperately searching for a gap to squeeze through. I am talking to strangers with a diplomatic smile All stood like robots in a single file. Next year, I think I will save my precious time that I get And do all my shopping on the world wide web, the internet.
