Urban Sissy

Urban Sissy

Is it really necessary

To talk excessively,

At the checkout (depressingly).

Now she's forgotten the sprouts

(I want to scream and shout!)

And there's no doubt,

Another five minutes wait;

(I'm already running late)

It's getting on my nerves

This incessant talking is absurd!

Much rather have preferred

To show my face

In another place

At a faster pace

Other than a busy supermarket!

While waiting to be served

Your needless chatter - 

Who ordered you to natter?

And honestly!

Does it really matter

About this and that,

What food to buy his fussy cat

As I have to listen 

To this ludicrous chat!

And for those

Who chose to believe

The money off vouchers

We pay through the nose 

(We are being deceived!)

Who fucking gives a damn

About the price of ham

And the sweet taste of yam

And Sunday Lamb!
And as I get madder and madder
I think of the loo and my weak bladder!

I'm not here socially

Not for this humdrum

And almost become

A nervous wreck!

(In our world of high-tech)

Just wanted a pint of milk 

For my cup of tea....

(Urban Sissy is an anagram of Sainsbury's ...)
