Have you ever thought about
the role supermarkets play in your life?
The time spent in the sheltered aisles
among consumer goods with your wife?
The Supie now rules our lives
from the cradle to the grave
Spiritual needs are quickly met
With Flybuy points you can save
Once upon a time on Sundays
we dressed up to the nines
and went to our local church
to purify our lustful minds
The vicar in tears would tell us
the collection plate was slim
and he would ask us to dig deep
to find a larger stipend for him.
The church bells no longer ring
They are so very very still
The only ringing sound we now hear
Is the ringing of the checkout till
Once we spent the holy day
Praying and singing hymns
But now we search the Supie
for bog rolls or Chocolate Thins
Everything you need is there
If you have time and ready money
Cheap loans, lotto tickets, gift cards
or packs of Manuka honey.
So rally around your supermarket
for them times are hard
Please spend up all your money
And be sure to use your Loyalty Card.
At the Vatican all the Cardinals
Are praying in St Peter’s Square
Its clear to see why they pray
A supermarket is going there !
A supie in St Peter’s Square?
What about the souls to save?
No worries mate the Aussies say
They can do that in Pack ‘n Save
