A person who wanted to go shopping
He did this by looking in the refrigerator
he looks inside and then he realizes
everything is missing, Schützenfest
So that nothing would be lost to him
he makes a list, a bulging
First of all, the most important things must be put back in
Butter, eggs, cheese that'd be fine
Sausage and meat he still thinks about
and says, okay, then again.
have a snack on the side
on the way for in your pockets
He now grabs a shopping bag
decorated with a sunflower
he walks with a taut step
in the hand the manuscript
Standing outside the department store every day
covers the shopping carts
smart and also gallant
a coin is put in there
Right at the beginning right hand
is the well-assorted vegetable stand
it says on the slip of paper
no, he leaves vegetables
Now it goes past the bread
grabs wafers for gluttony
Thinks bread only makes you sleepy
Oh no, this is a platitude
He continues on to the cheese counter
looks at the prices, thinks pharmacy
brings only a little of the enamel here
would be good for his fur.
Look again at the note
Meat should still be on the board
maybe he should have a roast
he hasn't been up to it lately.
I'm gonna have a steak today.
put it in the frying pan
nice with garlic, mushrooms, onion
has a seal of approval
Now a shopping trip with the cart
only if it is not difficult to bear
when the crowds at the shelf
know what, why and in what numbers
you want to buy today
or ought to buy
but when they stand and search reluctantly
then your buying is a great nuisance
Suddenly he notices something,
that wasn't even on the list.
he immediately takes the car in his hands
and ran to the wine rack.
The choice here is huge
he looks around, what am I gonna buy
Rhine, Moselle or once from the Ahr
it's like always, weird
The rest of what is still on the manuscript
he'll bring in and bring in
then it goes to the cash register
Queuing this is not his thing
He now lays down, one by one, with a nimble hand
everything from the car to the tape
past the cashier now
that scans products one, two, three
Cash register shows what he can pay now
still says mockingly: Pay with cards, man
now plug this into the device
and now enters his secret code
Yeah, the numbers, oh, what a horror
Code doesn't want to get out of his house.
he's thinking and thinking and thinking,
but she is swept away
The customers behind him
become impatient and they beg
Good man when you can't pay
please get back in line.
The older lady, the one right behind
asks: Do they have children
Just for fun, type once.
the child's birthday with the year
The scales have fallen from his eyes
he really can't believe it
enters, as the woman suggests
and the shopping with him from then on floats
Just for better understanding
he took favourable note of it
and gave the lady who gave the tip
not only a thank you, but also a handshake
And they spoke briefly
and both hearts were quickly broken
such was the blueprint of things to come
they kissed goodbye.
And the future has shown
they were both not entirely averse
and leave when the fridge is empty.
together to purchase with the guarantee
Because to rely on a PIN
who doesn't come to capture him
who suddenly is no longer in the memory
so they only go there together
