Grocery Poem

at the grocery store
time  moves slow
as the self-checkout line.

at the register a mother
digs  for change in her
pink purse. her daughter
laughs as she slices
a purple grape in half
with two new front teeth.

My son always had a chunk of cheese which he would choose himself, the ladies in the shop were so kind and let him try to make sure he liked it!:-) hugs jan xx C.W.
