Grocery shopping

By joyismine

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I stood there at the counter, wanting something good to eat; Beside another shopper Looking at the meat. She picked up items one by one, And lay them all back down, And picked up one last item, and looked at it and frowned. She made the following comment, As the viewed the cow's tongue in the pack, "I'm sure not gonna eat something If it can taste me back."
