Don'T Forget the Sausages

Pop down to the shops Son I need some bits and bobs Just a few potatoes And a dozen crusty cobs While you’re there, you might as well Get carrots and some greens Some frozen peas, some sugar And a tin of Heinz baked beans Some tea, I think we need some Minced beef for shepherds pie A pound of cheese, the Leicester We’ll give that one a try We haven’t any biscuits You know the ones I like Only get two packets, mind Be careful on your bike When you get back I’ll do some Bread and dripping for your tea A slice of bread and scrape for you And sausages for me © John W Fenn 03-07-2009

I'd like to thank you all for your fantastic comments on the poems I have posted in the past few days, I'm not sure how I should be replying to you all, perhaps someone could let me know the correct form. Having one of my pieces featured was a total surprise too, so thank you all for the warm welcome and a very positive first week on this site. John

I can hear my Mum now, John! But then there were no supermarkets, I had to go all over town for it ... and I couldn't ride a bike!

This is sad. This is how some children live. Nicely written. Keep writing. Sara
