Edward Ibeh Poet List

Notes About The Poem

Grocery List

(opens fridge) "Oh, what to buy...what to buy! I clearly need to go grocery shopping. Several things available are running out. Bread? Ah, there...I've got Bread, and Orange Juice, and Milk. Eggs? Almost out."(closes fridge)

(looking through the pantry) 
"I'm craving meatloaf, but I can't make it.
I don't have enough ingredients! 
I wanted to cook spaghetti last night but something is missing.
I don't like my coffee black.
And I don't like my food bland, thank you very much.
I'm craving something sweet;
I'm not even a sweet tooth.
Go figure.
So off grocery shopping, I go!"
My grocery list is as follows:
Ketchup
Ground Beef
Italian Bread Crumbs
Meatballs
Hazelnut Coffee Creamer
Salt
Ice Cream
M&M's
Milk
Barbecue Sauce
Eggs
