Last night my wife and I went to Asda,
And – among other things – spent eight pence on a Bag for Life.
The bag is guaranteed to last us a lifetime.
Every day we will look fondly at the bag,
And recall that evening,
All those years ago,
When we held hands and strolled through Asda,
Stocking up on milk, eggs and lightbulbs.
The side of the bag has the legend:
‘If this bag breaks or gets damaged,
We will happily replace it free of charge.’
These little gestures give us peace of mind.
If I am involved in a horrific car crash or a dreadful fire,
My wife will be able to take the tattered shreds of the bag,
And return them to Asda,
And the staff will give her a new bag,
And they will do this with smiles on their faces.
I sleep easy, knowing that whatever misfortunes may occur,
My wife and children will never be without a carrier bag.
