The weather was nice
The snow bank under the tree
Up the road was still there
But somehow resembled a pile of dirt
I wore my sandals even though
It was still cool
We drove north when normally
We would have driven south
I had a coupon

But not for sheets
I had a coupon
For face cream
So we found the sheets
On a high shelf and they were on sale
Thirty per cent off
Not much variety in colors
I went with bland off white
To be on the safe side

There was a dismal brown color
And a lacy one that he didn’t like
I looked at pillows, but
Wasn’t brave enough to buy one
Without first test-driving it.
After that we went to get tacos,
And stopped at the drug store,
And yes,
I did get the face cream.
