Fight or Flight (my second ever rhyming poem)
I’m hyper-aroused in Aldi
There’s a mammoth down the meat aisle
I’m frozen, fawning, fleeing through fear
As a sabre-tooth tiger lopes past the beer
I’m sweating and smothered by a lack of my box
A spear flies past me and lands in the socks
My adrenal medulla is full of dismay
As a brontosaurus destroys the Christmas display
There’s a cascade of catecholamine pummelling my brain
A T-Rex just missed me and its coming again
I need to get out of here, my amygdala is pissed
I’m peering past raptors to find offers I’ve missed
Im hyper-aroused in Aldi
Its fight or flight or no cheap shite.
