.4. Shopping And Chopping Poem by David Threadgold

Have you got pigs liver?
Said a lady in my shop
No I said politely
But I have a nice pork chop

Could I have some kidney?
With a half a pound of steak
To make a lovely gravy
With the pie she was to bake

The scales shows two and sixpence
Three bob a little more
She didn’t want the piece of steak
I’d just dropped on the floor

I parcelled up her purchase
And placed it with her shopping
Put the money in the till
Then went back to my chopping
