List your top 5 grocery store items.
Go to town today and buy a good book
But whilst you are there, why not take a look
At the market, you could draw up a list
Of groceries needed, items you missed
When last you dashed round Aldi, at least five
Come to my mind straight away. Forget books,
And get courgettes for stews my husband cooks,
Buy two aubergines, the second to mash
On another day, bin-bags for the trash
I know I need. Oh and, of course, a book
Cos you can’t just live just to buy and cook
Up stews and bag up waste. Candles needed
Too, as a centre-piece. Bread that’s seeded
Is a must! More than five things I can’t carry
Anyway at the market I can’t tarry
Because, there’s something else I needed too.
Something I’m forgetting – maybe a few
Of these I am lacking. I know!!! A book!
And another book, one at which to look
As I cut those veggies. Let’s see - a list
Again. Not one thing only! Zooks! I missed
Out by getting obsessed by things to cook:
I need a book, another book, a third book.
A fourth book and a fifth book, Nothing ‘s missed:
Knew there were five things I needed to list.
All my bookie love to all 📚 People
