Gaaahhhrrr

At last she found the salt pot About an hour it took her It was tucked behind the pepper In the cupboard by the cooker So keep it in a sprinkler Or even in a grinder But if it’s near the coffee Please heed this reminder In case it might be found By the unobservant looker Please don’t keep it in a pot That bares the label ’Sugar’

Nice verse, Terry. Good luck in the contest. Who has not grabbed the midlabeled sugar canister!
