A quick trip to the grocery store

That’s all, and nothing more

I got my vegies, fruit and milk

All I was looking for

 

I hurried to the candy aisle

To get my M & Ms

Should I get plain or peanut?

I wanted all of them

 

I chose to get the peanut ones

The special Halloween kind

I reached out for the biggest bag

Milk chocolate on my mind

 

But what I hadn’t realized

Was the one thing in the way

A large selection of Pez candy

Beside me on display

 

M & M’s safely in my hand

I tried to wiggle past

But as I brushed  the Pez sign

I let out an “oh no!” gasp

 

As if in slowest motion

The display began to fall

Dispensers tumbling everywhere

And I stood there appalled

 

Some were little pumpkins

Some witches and ghosts

Skeletons and spiders

(I liked those the most!)

 

Embarrassed beyond measure

I stooped to clean the mess

Quietly mumbling to myself

“Who even likes these Pez?”

 

As I finished up retrieving

 Pez and my self respect

I headed toward the counter

To get my groceries checked

 

“How are you today Mrs. Jarvis?

Did you find everything you need?”

I smiled and muttered, “That, and more!”

I payed and turned to leave.

 

Randall bagged my groceries

And offered his help to the car

I gladly took his offer

And he followed  to where I’d parked

 

I confidently headed out

I was anxious to get home

But when I got to the parking spot

I let out another groan

 

I was at the wrong spot

With not a clue where I had parked

So Randall and I took the scenic route

I ignored his smart remarks

 

I had to laugh out loud

As I headed home today

One mishap, then another

Just another “JJ” day

 

There’s no moral to this story

But no matter what anyone says

I still don’t think it’s possible

That anyone really likes Pez!
