Best Grocery Poems

It's always Aldi on a Sunday afternoon.  You're always waiting with your shopping bags in hand, slowly trudging along with your walking stick.  It takes you ten minutes to get into the car.  You never let me help and say "I'll manage...

Marching down life’s highway, my feet became very sore
I then came upon a sign that read “Heaven’s Grocery Store”
When I got closer the doors swung open wide
Next thing I knew I was standing there inside
I saw a flock of angels positioned everywhere
They handed me a...

Shopping for groceries is so much fun
Trying to find things on your list
Best not to go with wifey poo though
For fear of a marital rift

It seems we can never see eye to eye
Bout products we need to try
I go for meals that are microwave ready
No...

Small town grocery stores nowadays are very rare indeed,
But in simpler times they supplied a family's every need.
As a Hoosier lad, I worked in Mr L B Owen's Grocery Store,
In charge of absolutely nothing, but was given every rotten chore!

Poor Mr Owens was prone to...

Waiting at the Grocery Store

Looking around, my fingers fidgeting a multicolored scarf,
Searching through pockets for a letter that needs to be read, 
a phone call message I need to hear, but there are none. 
And I am going over the list one more time,
Standing semi-still...

A Bear in the Grocery Store

By Elton Camp

The greeter on the grocery side
Screamed as her eyes grew wide.
Never had she seen that before.
A black bear walked in the door.

Customers looked to see the matter.
Spotted the bear and began to scatter.
The public address began to blare,
Ordering...

After weighing myself and gaining five pounds
I knew the consequences were profound
I bowed my head and softly prayed
Please let these pounds melt away

I had made a grocery list to send
It was time for a home delivery again
I knew I had to do as I must
Edit...

I have my mother's grocery list,
It's actually quite small.
She is eighty-five years old
And doesn't eat much at all.

I don't mind doing her shopping.
I am blessed that she's still here.
I dread the day, when it arrives,
That she will no longer be near.

It's just a little grocery...

Urban legend now bared to the bone
Yet its trademark can no larger store clone
No glossy signs, spacious lots fealty to hone
But in colloquial parlance a tradition has grown
Larger Discount stores with dignity stand alone
Corner grocery, its squalid tenement doth bemoan
Manicured plots, concentric lots posh boutiques...

If we don’t have time for the supermarket,
there’s a store on the corner for what we can get.
For years, it has stood.
The quality and service are good.
We get what we need and more
at the CORNER GROCERY STORE....

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...

Today
I made the grocery list
For delivery.
The breads, the turkey
  Slices, and ham, the lettuce 
For salad
  Which led to discussing tomatoes;
The yogurt, milk, cream; 
 peanut butter; tissues even,
But, oh confound!
I forgot cake!  
  How do I forgive myself that?
