Leek Soup
Souper Shopping by pupils from All Saints CE First School | |
Car park. Fumes, fuel.
Engines starting, car horns blaring,
Squeaking, squealing, rattling
Metal against metal,
Like tin cans fighting each other.
Flashing indictors; locked car. Select a trolley.
An invisible robot opens
The gateway to everything.
Follow my list.
Chocolates, dark. Chocolate Digestives,
Doughnuts, squishy and yummy, crisps,
Two litre Diet Coke, vegetables, soap.
Fruit, toilet rolls, Winter spice bubble bath.
Cottage cheese.
Free range eggs.
Nike tee-shirt, pyjamas, jumper.
New England strip.
Marble blue mug with baaing sheep.
Astroturf trainers, cheap as chips. Shopping complete, we need a break
Blueberry muffin and a cup of tea. Robot gives you freedom, out of the door.
Load up your car. Heavy work, tiring.
Drive off, knowing youll soon be returning.
Knowing that everything on your list
Can be found in the town,
Can be bought on the street
In Leek: Souper market town. Y4 pupils, All Saints CE First School
