I was listening to Tear for Fears on my cd player The song was Mad World I pulled into the parking lot I always park so I can pull out without backing up I get out and walk away Did I turn off my lights? What if I didn't? I'll have a dead battery So I check again and lock it up good All the doors are locked now I am doing my window shopping I'm looking at cds at Books A Million I'm looking at Halloween costumes at a halloween store Why do all the female ones look pretty much the same? I go into Spencer's Gifts and look at the posters and funny buckles I check out the pets up for adoption I leave and it is cold out there It is windy too Where did I park my car? I can't remember I have a Homer Simpson on the dash I have a Cheyenne Red car So I walk up and down the aisles Not too many personalized plates out here Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois There's Texas Roadhouse I wish I could afford to eat there I look over, is it mine? No! Someone else has a car that looks just like mine! So after another three minutes of walking I get lucky I get in my car and turn on the heater I should have worn a hat and gloves! Enough of Mad World I'm listening to Wierd Al's Traffic Jam!

About this poem:
This has happened a few times for me and it always frustrates me. At least at Walmart I always park in lane number 7.
Dude, I feel your pain, I do this if I'm not thinking. As a rule I do the same as you by parking in the same lane and in my case there is a row of trees there too. But my car is so small it hides between the SUV's and even family size cars hide it until I'm like a couple of feet away!

Mac, it sounds like the up coming pandemonium on parking lots again. I went to Costco and boy the display is so colorful and so indicative of the coming holidays and I'm like. Wow, is it that tine again?
windyweatherly, thanks for your comment. I did see the christmas trees set up at Menards when I went there to see the Halloween decorations. I buy most of halloween decorations after the holiday because you can get them 50% off.
SundaySilence, thanks for your comment. I don't have the tennis ball, but I do have a bumber sticker for the upcoming elections, A fool and his money are soon elected. I got it out of a book of bumper stickers I bought at a book store in the comedy section about five years ago.
