Dad’s been checking the cupboards
the fridge and freezer too
Soon he’ll be driving the road down –
the one that leads into town
See the cupboards need refilling
with fish and meat and soups
as well as other tinned favourites
like Beans with Sausage and Spaghetti hoops
And Soap and Shampoo need a buying
along with mouthwash and pastes
and cleaning stuff and bin bags
to clear up the weeks waste
And so he knows there’s nothing he missed
he’s put it on paper – a handy list
so when he’s looking for summat we need
he can find it and give us a top up feed
