I think I might be hanging around here too much when I turn a grocery list into a poem. A DOZEN EGGS without the shell cholesterol free to make me well NONFAT MILK from a nonfat cow and a SKINLESS CHICKEN from a skinless fowl Don't forget to get some FISH to prepare a healthy seafood dish And too, I guess we need some TEA since caffeine is taboo for me OATS and BRANS and plenty of fibe I know will help keep me alive You'd best get plenty of T.P. too to wipe away my residue No beef, no salt, no chips and dips will ever cross these pouting lips As I watch twinkies from afar and dream of Snicker's candy bars Some MELBA TOAST, a BOTTLE OF WINE to somehow sate this heart of mine (Fortunately, I am not on a strict diet like this but fear that one day I will be...sigh! I snuck the wine in.*g*) "HEY, DON'T THROW THAT AWAY, I MIGHT NEED IT SOMEDAY!!!" Packratmike [This message has been edited by Packratmike (edited 03-28-2001).] |

Sure does look like my grocery list. Except for the wine, you can keep it. When your cholestrol gets too high thats what happens to your diet. Boring Boring Boring Now to go eat a bowl of oatmeal!!!!!  |

A poem from a grocery list. I couldn't resist reading and was glad I did. I wrote one about my mailbox so I understand the feeling. Really enjoyed!! |

And a mighty fine list it is! LOL on the TP line... I'm sure I should be shopping this same way but I so like my chocolate chip cookies. |

The sign of a dyed in the wool poet, to my way of thinking, when even our grocery lists are not exempt from verse! This is clever, Mike. (o: Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
