Cart Corral

I decided to try a few different things this year for RPM. This is the single (along with a b-side to make a playlist) I’m using to show I completed RPM. All told I had six songs and could have listed an EP, but the songs all need a bit more work and will eventually show up on a full album, so instead you get a song about the grocery store.

Time for a trip to the store
To stock up the pantry
So many rows
So much to see

I’m singing along to a jaunty tune
The canned goods aisle is playing Marquee Moon
What kind of hipster grocer
Have I found

I put my buggy in the cart corral
I put my buggy in the cart corral
I put my buggy in the cart corral
Because I’m not a monster

I point my cart towards the produce section
So I can browse their bountiful selection
I wander amongst the berries and melons
Navigate this store just like Magellan

I put my buggy in the cart corral
I put my buggy in the cart corral
I put my buggy in the cart corral
Because I’m not a monster

The sign says 10 items or less
But the proper word is fewer
I bite my tongue and hold my breath
As I turn bluer and bluer
