Why I Don’t Relish Shopping
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I stare at the shelves in confusion,
Wond’ring why there is such a profusion
Of sizes and styles.
Choices litter the aisles.
Is the simple life just an illusion?

heh. “choice” poetry. funny!
your poem is profoundly truthful.
just pick an aisle in the store and it’s enough to cause aneurysm.
deodorant? eeek!
feminine products? double eek!
toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper and who the heck needs 40 varieties of hand lotion?

Couldn’t help but laugh. There are times when I find all the choices way too much consumerism. Good Manic Monday

I thought I had commented here before this.
Never mind.
Too many choices takes away the pleasure of choosing.

Shopping is really mad these days!
