Shopping Odyssey

She said: “Just one store.”

But destiny had plans.

Three markets later —

she’s juggling bags like magic wands in her hands.

A cart here, a sale there,

“Let’s check this place, it’s on the way.”

And boom — the trunk turns into

a warehouse for Judgment Day.

Then pharmacy time —

the final boss stage.

Pills “for later”, creams “just in case”,

and vitamins for every age.

By the end she’s smiling,

mission fully complete:

ten bags of surprises,

and half the city’s stock deplete.

So here I stand laughing,

because what can you do?

When Mama goes shopping —

she conquers the world…

and brings half of it home too.
