Thursday Night Shopping : Seasonal Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

Every Thursday its the same thing , the sun rises and then it sets like it did before .

 Like every other Thursday I make out my shopping list . Its late night shopping once more .

  So of I go into the busy supermarket, like a coin in a penny arcade ,weaving up and down aisles,  picking up tins on the way, looking at the trolley cavalcade .

  Standing at the checkouts . Here is where all the other late night shoppers regularly meet  .

  Every Thursday we battle our way through the traffic , yes , it seems that the gangs all here .

Every Thursday we gather and watch carefully  , just in case a  bargain should appear .

Every Thursday has something in common with all other Thursdays that have gone  before .

  That common thing is , it always ends on midnight because Friday has come again once more .
