Food Fight

There was a fight in the pantry
Peas and carrots were in dispute
The sugar and pepper were shaking
And the cinnamon followed suit!

The pickles deftly grabbed the flour
And threw it across the floor
A pink lady apple, slipped and fell
And was shaken, down to the core!

Peanut butter was all a flutter
In pursuit of honey to tease
Popcorn up and yelled, "They're back!"
While the green beans stepped on the peas 

The man noticed first, the floury floor
To him it was not at all shady
But when the same, his young wife beheld
It furrowed the brow of the lady!
