Analysis of SHOPPING SPREE
mad hippie poet 1974 (new jersey)
Every tuesday and Thursday, they come in like clockwork with their walkers and wheelchairs, hair coming out of their ears. And liver spots on their hands, you can play on them to connect the dots.
They come in for their fix-a-dent and prune juice so they can have a more effortless bowel movement. While searching for a clean depends
They have their list, check it twice, and still forget what they need. Calling anyone and everyone, Sonny boy
They say in their aging voice can you get that down for me? I can not reach, and I might break my good hip. They keep on screaming the prices are so damn expensive. I remember when a loaf of bread was 5 cents, but I can not remember for the life of me my name guess it is just the same please god, never let me grow old
