I was wandering around a shopping store, when I got to the tills…

The lady in front of me looked slightly unwell
As my items were scanned through i noticed that this lady had collapsed
An ambulance came and pronounced her dead
I felt really sorry for her -  She had just bought a bag for life!

    Now that is irony. I had to look up what a bag for life is. Being from the United States, we do not have what you call a bag for life. Our stores have recently started something very similar. They now offer bags that you can buy and bring to the store with you, but I don’t believe you can trade them in. Nice piece. Good job.

    Thats a high price to pay for something she don’t get to keep.

    hiya, not quite sure why they have published ths as a poem, as it isn’t meant to be. Not sure what topic i put it under, think it was general. But hey, don’t matter.
    thanks.

    Wow, I thought it was good….get a life Drew! That way you will have something to do except take cheap shots at people who actually are trying to grow and evolve by creating.
