Playing Shop
Oh, I am Mr. Grocer, with a pencil on inj’ ear, And Jacqueline’s the Lady-Come-to-Buy. “Good - morning,’’ Mrs. Spuggins! Yes, a lovely day again! Eleven pounds of bacon. Will you try The newest brand we have? I hear it’s very good indeed. . • . A bag of those potatoes—yes —and cheese: And ginger ruts, and marmalade, and cofFee beans and spice; Will that be all this morning, madam, please.” But Jacqueline is dreadful playing Grocer Shop today ! (I know she can remember when she tries)— To-day I’m always running short of goods because she will Forget to leave behind the things she buys! —By Ju’ie Hickson, Wanganui.
