BULK BIN TEMPTATIONS
I need some more corn starch, and some brown rice
A small amount cream of tarter and Montreal spice,
Brown sugar and I think that is all I need for now,
But my husband here doesn’t think I finished somehow.

I cannot pass the cashew nuts or the chocolate ginger,
My shopping bills staying low he always seems to hinder,
I am not the only one who has this complaint to make,
She creeps out of the house before her husband does awake.

That way all the extra goodies will stay inside their jar,
If that won’t work try and slip in leaving him in the car,
It’s the women who pick up all the useful things they need,
The men go for all the tasty things it must be the breed.

Just the other week while shopping around for this and that,
Lots of things went into my basket that make me rather fat,
But at least it keeps the storekeeper happy to see extra things
And then to munch on that chocolate ginger great joy brings.
