Hunter Gatherer

Hunter Gatherer

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

 

 

I'm a hunter, gatherer, going to the store.

Gonna get what I need and maybe something more.

Gonna find a good deal. Gonna get it on sale.

Gonna use that coupon that I got in the mail.

 

Go'in right down the aisle headed strait for the back.

Gotta keep my eye out for the clearance clothing rack.

Gonna buy a new shirt. Wanna wear the latest fad.

Better get one for my husband so that he won't be mad.

 

I'm a hunter, gatherer, going to the store.

Gonna get what I need and maybe something more.

Gonna find a good deal. Gonna get it on sale.

Gonna use that coupon that I got in the mail.

 

I'll get the kids some new shoes 'cause they're buy one get one free.

Oh that's such a good deal, think I'll get a pair for me.

I'll save       25,       50,       75      percent.

Oh man, I just came across a close out sales event.

 

 

  

I'm a hunter, gatherer, going to the store.

Gonna get what I need and maybe something more.

Gonna find a good deal. Gonna get it on sale.

Gonna use that coupon that I got in the mail.

 

 

I'll do some therapy shopping to escape the old routine.

Oh my gosh, that is the cutest dress that I have ever seen.

I'll get a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Hey salesclerk, please tell me "does this dress make me look fat?"

 

 

 

I'm a hunter, gatherer, going to the store.

Gonna get what I need and maybe something more.

Gonna find a good deal. Gonna get it on sale.

Gonna use that coupon that I got in the mail.

 

 

I am always comparing prices so I get the best buys.

Think the kids could use some pencils. Better hit the school supplies.

Need some milk, eggs, and butter and some yogurt sounds great.

I better stop right now because it's getting really late.


I'm a hunter, gatherer, going to the store.

Gonna get what I need and maybe something more.

Gonna find a good deal. Gonna get it on sale.

Gonna use that coupon that I got in the mail.

This is cute. I like the refrain. I'm partial to buying fabric. But I do shop the clearance racks.
