I had to make a purchase today

but the shop was quite a distance away

In my mind, it was a fantasy

to buy or trade was costly in actuality

Finding the street, I made a bad turn

Step-monster was thersitical, said I’d never learn

Half of me wanted to cry

Thinking I might flail, wither, and die

Would I ever learn the ropes?

Learn to drive, was there any hope?
