My Shopping List

For Terry Flood,* since you insist, Here, in rhyme’s my shopping list: Orange juice and Starbuck’s (iced, Even though it’s overpriced), Bagels, Swiss and muenster cheese, Whitefish salad, frozen peas, Broccoli and salad greens, Carrots, berries, nectarines, Melons, muffins, chocolate treats, Licorice or gummy sweets, Ice cream, cookies, corn chips, bread, Hummus, pesto, peppers (red), Eggs and butter, IPA’s, Pasta meant for many days, Chicken, mushrooms, sometimes meat – Think that makes my list complete. (For omissions, I’m to blame Since rhyme, not shopping, was my aim!) *a fellow poet on Poetry Soup

Many of the items you listed are also part of my weekly foods, especially hummous (with red pepper sauce), Greek plain no sugar yogurt (I add a touch of real vanilla), white fish, frozen shrimp, broccoli, kale, and a mix of salad greens, garlic cloves (if needed), half quart of milk (for my morning coffee), a variety of fruits, sugarless cookies, and best of all to satisfy sweet tooth, a big bar of expensive chocolate. And I'm happy. / Maurice

That sounds like at least a week's worth of feasting, Ilene. Dibs on sharing the chocolate treats with you? Fun write and rhyming!
