Mona in the Aisles

Grocery Shopping

I was out running my weekly errands

Stopped at the last store for the day

Shopping for my favorite food brands

Keeping up with what I’d have to pay

I was walking down the produce aisle

Checking out the deals on potatoes

When glancing, I saw a familiar smile

Causing me to walk into the tomatoes

Slipping, I landed flat on my butt

I couldn’t believe my luck

As she walked past, whispering Tut Tut

Carefully, I stand up in the muck

As I watch her walk regally away

I’m confident no one will believe me

If I tell them I saw Mona Lisa sashay

When I went to buy lemons for my tea

    I believe you! 😵‍💫😁 Mona Lisa would definitely sashay down the fruit and veg aisle, even in those sturdy shoes!
