Albertsons on Boulder

Albertsons on Boulder

Is Making me Older

Going to the grocery store

Has become more of a chore

Than ever before.

Used to run out the door

With my coupons & list, but not anymore

It's a project just to prepare for

This once a week chore.

Gotta try hard

Remembering to take the club card

"Don't leave home without it"

To get the sale you must submit.

Must pack my glasses for reading

Some labels that might be misleading.

If I don't check the amount of salt

It's me who'll be at fault

Is it good carbs or bad

Does it matter or just a fad

Dieticians get salaries

To count the calories.

I like to brag

I don't use a paper or a plastic bag

I reuse my own made out of burlap

That I got years ago at The Gap.

Then I drive home in my Hummer

Kidding.. kidding...I'm not a bummer!

I am, however, a caring commuter

I maneuver home in my senior scooter.

Not!  Truth finally be told

I've been cajoled

I drive a hybrid car

It actually can go pretty far.
