The Magician's Shopping List!

Khalil Goddard

Milk, eggs, butter and bread
A day's shopping fills me with dread
Pasta, tomatoes, cheese and ham
I hardly know where I am!

Coffee, tea and sugar too
Apples for me, chocolates for you
Shopping for me is such a chore
But now it's time to go to the store.

Garlic, rice, herbs and fish
I'm cooking up a tasty dish
Peppers, aubergines and some chili
Please don't think my list is silly.

Carrots, cabbage, onions and leeks
It's the longest list I've had for weeks
Parsnips, potatoes and lots of spice
Let me prepare for you something nice!
