Lethal is what I am

Behind the shopping trolley

I cannot steer the bloody thing

I feel a proper wally

Push it to the left I do

And it rolls towards the right

Catching people’s ankles

Hitting everything in sight

Once I stopped to price the bread

And left it standing there

Next there came a mighty crash

Twas’ canned peas everywhere

Usually it takes the lead

And just goes on without me

Refusing to cooperate

So what is it about me?

Looking round, I always find

That others have no trouble

They whistle for their trolleys

and they ‘pull up’ at the double

Maybe they have passed their test

To shop with such great ease

But I am just not qualified

So give me L plates please!
