Chez Tony Food Market

Late but received her first cheque for alimony Shot off to this new market based on a raving testimony She circled and circled… was the ad phony? No signs… no arrows… was it hidden this Chez Tony? Suddenly a little hole in the wall behind some random pony! Groceries for one, a dose of reality, the fish was bony The smell reminiscent of rancid sanctimony She settled for cheese and macaroni a pound of baloney in honour of their matrimony and a devil cake for the irony Submitted on March 26, 2018 for contest A HIDDEN MARKET sponsored by JULIA WARD - RANKED 1ST
