Daylight Robbery
I made a quick trip down to the grocery store,
Where I departed with most my cash…
Considerably more than usual,
In this weekly household dash…
Prices were through the roof,
Down in each and every aisle…
Daylight flamin robbery,
They ought to be on trial…
With a trolley full of tucker,
I was coaxed into a queue...
As they held me hostage at the checkouts,
Until I paid for what was due……
Is there a better deal for cash,
I thought it was worth a try...
But she just called the manager,
A request he would deny…
Well after paying the fine for shopping,
I was left with just a docket….
A few bags to carry home,
And somewhat out of pocket…
