A Grocery List For The Week

A Grocery List For The Week

A Poem by breakthebrokenone

This week, 
I must remember
these simple, but necessary 
items
For if I forget, 
there will be much regret
and so much sorrow in my soul.

Shampoo and conditioner, 
could there be a more perfect pair?
Than one that cleanses
and one that nourishes
and satisfies your soul?

Then, next on the list, 
is the most one yet...
Hair removal cream
that will not irritate your skin
but instead, promises to be gentle
And that promise is convincing,
if It wasn't for me guessing
that the baby on the bottle
didn't think so.

And then to my relief, 
I approach my favorite aisle, 
the one with all my hearts desires
My face begins to beam
because all I can see
is products full of sucrose
that the dentist will be glad to see
because that is simply
another day in the office,
and three hundred dollars in hos pocket
while his secretary pretends it wasn't so. 

So now, you can see,
why I fret so constantly, 
because without these little things, 
my mind would begin to freeze
from the many vacant halls
which have been abandoned 
for years unknown.
