Old Ladies

Three dollars and four cents

The checkout girl said

Staring off into the distance

The customer, an old lady

Said sorry dear how much

Three dollars and four cents

Came the exasperated reply

Oh yes, here we are

Thank you! Next

The old woman packed her

Few items

Hurry up please

Doesn’t the checkout

Girl know

The old ones were

Here first and deserve better

A call came over the speaker

Pick up old ladies

Body isle four

The shoppers shop on.
