At The Supermarket

"Special offer!"
No customer wants
brown strawberrries.
A boy can't find
his favorite ice cream.
Vanilla taste
doesn't solve the problem.
At the exit
a Jehovah's witness tells me
that the end of the world
is near.
And I just have bought
six bottles of shampoo ...

LOL! You are a lucky one, Angelika. I don't need shampoo since years.

(My advice: buy seeds and a fork, lithium-batteries and a solar charger, a dynamo radio and a led-torch, candles and cans, matches and a survival book, boots and a rucksack, a Swiss army knife and a sewing kit, a first aid equipment and lots of blankets, vitamins and minerals, noodles and rice, a handpump and a crossbow, store water, Bordeaux and Single Malt, dig a well and a fall-out shelter, build a wall and a burglar-proofed room, safe some books from reading and tons of firewood, shrinkwrap paper and pens, read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_kit.)

As you see: there is a witness in everyone ;-) BTW I wrote today:

Every line enticed a giggle!

My son says, quite in jest I assure you; "I hate to go to the supermarket, all that pushing and shoving... I hope I havn't hurt anyone."

Lovit! _m

This piece of mystery-drama!
Left open what you are going to do with six bottles of shampoo?

youngster
carrying a dachshund --
weekend ahead

an explain, but I think the beer is sold in similar packets everywhere?:
beer is sold in "sixpacks"
= 6 bottles in a single packet, now in twelve bottles in one packet, people called it as a "dachsund" because it looks like a dachsund.

Furthermore also 8 aluminium tins, but that is perhaps called just a packet?

I understand that in the future there are only tins, not any glass bottles.
