STILL OUT LOOKIN

I sent you to the store--I sent you to get more
fresh whole milk for my sauce; our guest is your new boss
he'll come to eat tonight! Our house is quite a sight
with boxes still unpacked; our books still in their stacks!
But, you took WAY TOO LONG; my sauce now tastes too strong!!
And me, I'm still out lookin'--you left me here a-cookin'!
When I send you to shop, I'm expectin' you to HOP
instead of wasting time; you thought it was just fine!
Now. we are runnin' late; the impression won't be great!
My sauce will be all burned 'cause you've not yet returned!
