Pathmark Perversity - New York

Cucumbers, celery and stem-vine tomatoes were hobnobbing with my Russett potatoes. Pears and plums and one Georgian peach winked at the Wisk and Snuggled the bleach. Pretzels and popcorn and the Tostitos chips ogled in awe as Meyer's bacon strips stripped! Mr. Clean and Mrs. Dash espied a risqued art - when double-clipped coupons tainted the cart!

I enjoyed reading this very very much, Rhyming forms are my favorite and this one was out of this world.

Not only can I understand the other forms of poetry I can't spell either. Handle is the proper word, God Bless Cile
