 Present Day Shopper

Who goes to market to buy a fat pig

When children's rhymes are all but near extinct

Today our grocery stores are chuck fill


Enough lables, fill the basket with fig

Tap tapping on key boards no need of ink

Who goes to market to buy a fat pig

When children's rhymes are all but near extinct


What ever you do hold onto your wig

Don't let it perish in the kitchen sink

Nor let it be damaged in just a blink

Who goes to market to buy a fat pig

When children's rhymes are all but near extinct

Today our grocery stores are chuck fill
