GROCERY QUESTIONS AND SMILES
Fruit and vegetables, plastic wrappings,
Pointy fingers of ochroes,
Bulbous curved cloves of garlic,
Bags of apples from trees overseas,
And the lane goes on, in listing choices
Cans of tuna, mackerel too,
Tomato soup, and garbanzo beans,

So i smiled, and answered
"We call them channa
Some folks say chick pea too."
