Commotion in the supermarket

There was a commotion in the supermarket,
Of trolley dashing galore,
Not for chocolate or candy canes,
But for the humble cheese straw.
They were on offer for £1.20,
Buy one get one free,
Everybody wanted on,
Everyone that was,
Except for me!
I rushed off to the processed cheese,
And smiled a cheeky satisfactory grin,
The sight it was so magnificent,
As I started to the chuck a bucket load in.
I got up to the checkout,
And poured them out onto the till,
The assistant watch with curiosity,
As the convayer belt started to fill.
With mountains of cheese spaghetti,
Twists and original strings.
As I walked proudly out of Tesco,
And waltzed along to where I parked my car,
Eyes of fascination watched me,
I felt like a Hollywood movie star!
Later I approached my own front door,
And had barely turned they key,
When I heard the voice of my missus,
The faithful mum to be!
Have you got me cheese strings,
My twists and the cheese spaggetti,
You see our baby cant get enough of them,
But wait surely you didn’t think,
They were all for me?

A nice suprise ending as I was honestly wondering why anyone would want so many cheese combinations.

Hehe, have to love those cravings, Midnight. Luckily, they weren't at "midnight". Well-described, without revealing the cheesy reason until your ending. H x

I never wanted to write this post. Life, however, brings to us changes of necessity, not changes we want.

Unfortunately, and as evidenced by the past few months' activities, I do not have the time to properly govern the use of this site anymore. While there are visitors every day, the posts by members are becoming fewer and farther between, and the staff participation is just as sparse.
