.6. Must Have Poem by David Threadgold

Special offers at my superstore
Get bigger every day
With savings on their bulk buys
Reducing what we pay

I bought a pack of toilet rolls
Fifteen’s but paid for twelve’s
It seemed a super bargain
Taking three more from the shelves

Lots of chocolate biscuits
If you buy one get one free
This also seemed a super deal
So I bought another three

If you bought a jar of coffee
With extra you got bigger
Two of those instead of one
Would change our shopping figure

I bought some bread and butter
With a great big leg of lamb
Fifty mini picnic pies
Plus slices of cooked ham

Lots of things I didn’t need
Filled high my shopping barrow
I’d only gone to buy some milk
And I’d even bought a marrow
