I Saw Red (But No Bread)

another poem inspired by a song ("I Saw Red" - Warrant)

My magnificent mood

Immediately died

Just minutes after

I'd walked inside

It felt like my heart

Dropped right to the floor

The bread was no longer

There on Aisle Four

I am really not sure

I can take anymore

Abuse from this store

Our local grocery store moved everything....now I go in circles when I visit the store.
I hate when that happens.

Thanks. Yeah, they did a pretty thorough rearranging, and I was flustered to say the least. ~Jim
