Attention Shoppers

Excuse me if am mistaken
But I think you stole my heart
You tossed it in with groceries
Left unattended in your cart.

Forgive me if I am wrong
But I think you took my love
It's right between the margarine
And the dish soap labelled Dove.

Pardon me if I seem forward
But I want these items back
My devotion didn't satisfy you
To you it was just a snack.

It's time to pay my darling
Sure hope your credit's fine
Your greediness has made a mess
"Clean up in aisle nine!"
.

"Clean up on aisle nine!"- That line made me laugh. Great Read. Very clever.

This is wonderfully creative, Nightshade, and so touchingly phrased.

I've never known what to do
to retrieve a stolen heart,
but wonder if they'd send it back
If I sent a shopping cart?

Well done! Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

This morning theres a calm I cant explain
By the time I recognize this moment it will be gone,
I will bend light pretending it lingers on

Reposts can be so much fun, especially after the busy holidays, when we need a good chuckle. And this provided my basketful of such!

Thanks, Chris!

Hey, hey, hey...love the new pic!!

And I remember reading this one before...there is great satisfaction with knowing I have been around long enough to remember a repost!  But enough about me...

Loved it then and loved it now!
