What Kind of Grocery Store Is This

I try to pass the powdered donuts 
They jump off the display 
landing happily in my grocery cart.

I am next met by a shelf full of potato chips.
Lays – my favorite brand.
They throw themselves at my face.
I catch a bag in midair.

What kind of grocery store is this? I wonder.
Marie Callender’s lemon meringue pie laughs
and begins chasing after me.

L Milton Hankins Date: 5/16/2022 8:37:00 AM I have the same problem. You know, I seem to have a magnetic appeal to those forbidden foods! I stand looking longingly at the cake rack.
