That Weekly Shop !!!

Good day one and all and the weekend is upon us again.

I had been hoping to publish my hubs on the Welsh Railways of yesteryear ;many of you will know that we took our grandchildren there a couple of weeks ago. However each day has been very hectic and it's not quite complete yet; hence today's light hearted poem.

This poem goes back to the days when my six children were small and oh dear that shopping day always came round far too fast !!Ha ha ha.I am sure many of you can relate to this also.

I have kept this hub short with only one poem because I feel that anymore would spoil the humour.

Remember that those sunny smiles and a good dose of laughter are indeed the very best medicine of all.

There is never another day

To match that weekly shop;

My heart thunders on

And just will not stop.

x

I gather my kiddies

Like sheep to the fold;

Sheep oh so well trained

Their laughter so bold.

x

Each one falls into line;

Like a well drilled army;

How fortunate am I

I am oh so lucky.

x

Very soon we reached

The Supermarket Store;;

The sheep now escape

Rushing to the door !!!

x

Little Jim grabs a trolley

And shoots down the aisle;

Laughing and shrieking

Gone is my smile.

x

Peg pretends she's Tarzan

And swings on the clothes;

And Hetty falls headfirst

To the freezer she goes !!!

x

And now Toby hollers

"Mam I need a Peee!!!"

Oh am I still sane?

Oh poor poor me !!

x

Now Molly and Dolly

Are climbing so high;

Oh how I lose my patience

Screaming like a Banshee!!!

x

I cannot now stop

My face a beetroot red;

And the kiddies by now?

Not another word said !!!

x

We reach the checkout

Oh if looks could kill;

The manager just snarls

"We'll send you the bill!!!!"

x

As we head for home

I threaten and scold;

And the kiddies by now

Like sheep to the fold !!!

x

Finally it is bedtime

All kiddies sleeping now;

My angels I forgive you

As I kiss each soft brow!!!

I hope you all enjoyed today's hub and I wish you all a great day with lots of love from my little corner of Wales.

Eddy.
