Something different
You robotic machine,
you speak to me,
transfer me from this miserable queue.
Socialite I appear to be,
but am not really.
Then you bug me,
have I my own bag ?
have I scanned my clubcard ?
do I have coupons ?
how would I like to pay ?
yet your manners outweigh,
the human robots on the other till.
Out witted you,
I have,
to get the right change,
enter your pennies first,
ideal for us on a low budget.
At least you spare my shame,
if I haven't enough to pay,
as I scan my produce real slow you know.
Thanks for your friendship self serve.
Then you scoff all my money,
like a pig,
would swill out his trough,
@poetic rations,
I do hope my poem is good enough.
Then I walk away,
one satisfied customer,
see you next week,
when I come out to play !

as you say Butterfly - something a bit different - and I like it - a bit more hard edged and pithy - lets have some more like this please :-)
