John Fenn Poet I do not know?

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 Fenn August 19, 2009 at 12:25 PM 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
