I went to the store and bought
some flowers. Then, I headed to
the meat department. Later, I
realized I forgot to buy bread.
Upon entering a grocery store, I headed the directly
for the flower department, where I spotted tulips. As I
tenderly rested the tulips in my rusty shopping cart, I
caught a whiff of a minty dried eucalyptus, so I added
the fragrant forest green bouquet of eucalyptus to my
cart. While heading for the meat department, I
smelled the stench of seafood, which made my
appetite disappear. I absently grabbed a bloody red
hunk of NY strip and tossed it into my cart. Pushing my
creaky shopping cart to check out the line, I heard an
employee announce over the PA that there was a
special on shrimp. On the ride home, I realized I forgot
to buy the freshly baked bread that I like so much.
