Food Lion, Fayetteville, North Carolina

Her list includes croutons and jelly and jam,
as I read down, I see knockwurst and ham.
Bananas and tuna, pick up Borax and Bold,
if there's no Zest, then get Palmolive Gold.
Orange juice and lemons, Pepsi and Sprite,
ice cream and cookies for our guests tonight.
I arrive on line nine with it all and croutons.
It rings up, I reach in..I forgot the coupons.

Another day of fasinating reading ahead of me I see. Thank you for sharing your poetry with us Gerard. I enjoyed reading your poetry today. Wishing you the best always. I guess I read what she was asking for wrong. I thought she wanted the things in the cart to be talking to each other. Best to you in the contest. Love, Carol

Isn't that always the way, Gerard? I do the same thing, forgetting coupons that could have saved me a bundle on groceries. Your wife must love having you do the shopping! I never knew a man who would go to the grocery store armed with a list. Very funny ending! Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
