notes written on shopping dockets
the world's biggest collection of odd socks
moonwalk dancing in the supermarket
glancing furtively at the pouting check out chicks
caressing the cat in french
You haven't lived if you haven't had fun in the supermarket. What a different version of "Foolish things" compared with the Ella Fitzgerald's version (before your time I expect!)
"caressing the cat in french"...ha..
ReplyDeleteA wonderful song..matched with an equally wonderful poem...!!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Hmm. Not so foolish when they are so useful, are they? Or at least I get the sense of a fondness here--not revulsion.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I love them, especially the moonwalk dancing in the supermarket aisles.
ReplyDeletebeautiful both the video and your poem
ReplyDeleteOuch!
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling Rail. Very clever.
Rall what a fun and foolish frolic at the market.
ReplyDeleteJoy and sadness wrapped into one. I was wondering where this was heading right up to the very last line. Very enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny what memories can remind us of.

ReplyDeleteLove is in the foolish things that connect us...i love the flow from song to poem...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely intimate list-poem. (Though I challenge you on 'the world's biggest collection of odd socks'!)
ReplyDeleteThat is an honest poem. It always the silly little things.
