Unexpected item in the bagging area
The mechanical voice starts to boom
This is really getting up my derriere
And I might retaliate soon
Pardon my French I say to no one
But the voice starts booming again
You must contact a member of staff
Sod it are you having a laugh
The reason I’m here is to get out fast
Speed up things get on passed
But bloody hell this is a trial
More like walking a country mile
I call the assistant with a frown
The stupid machine has broken down
The assistant taps in a code
And starts to scan and unpack my load
Surely there is an easier way
To buy my shopping I have to say
I‘ll get someone else to do my shopping
And head straight for the bar without stopping.
