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!)
