Safeway--California

Whispers crackers to the cheese,
"Lean a little closer please...
I'll bet the party's tomorrow night"..
Cabernet shivered in sudden fright,
The olives decided to bide their time,
And snuggled closer to the lime...
"Hope the party is a raging blast,
'Cause I think it's going to be our last!"

Oh, LNC, you outdid yourself with this one! I will never attend a party that endangers olives. LOL Enjoy that cabernet, though!! Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn

What a great poem. We used to have Safeways here in Oklahoma too, but they left the region. Best of luck in the contest, Shirley
