One bag of flour
the self raising kind
a pound of bacon
without the rind
A loaf of bread
a jar of jam
remember the pickle
to go with the ham
Dog food and cat food
cheese and coffee
don't forget raisins
and nuts for the toffee
Tomatoes, sun-dried
get those if you're able,
if you're not sure
it will say on the label
Toilet rolls, eggs
shampoo and stir fry
get rolls without seeds
heaven knows why
Salad and butter
hot dogs and sauce
get reduced fat, low sugar,
and lo salt of course
Chocolate and sweetcorn
chicken and stuffing
A chocolate chip, walnut
and blueberry muffin
Pizza with pineapple
ham and some cheese
fairy and cookies
Ariel Fabreeze
Turkey, satsumas
not oranges with pips
tin foil and razors
and food bags with zips
Nutella is best
it's the one we like most
so get a big jar
to spread on our toast
Boys, thank you for doing
the shopping for me
oh, and don't forget cake
and biscuits and tea
I'll leave it to you
if there're things that I've missed
Just get what you think
if it's not on the list.

There are some incredible and truly outstanding poets here, I always feel like my meager offering might just as well be a shopping list compared. So I wrote one just to prove it :o)
