A  small bottle of ketchup; two bottles of wine.
Then this herbal shampoo will make my hair shine.
     A crisp lettuce, tomatoes, a cucumber too 
     And some carrots and turnips to put in my stew.

​

A large packet of soup mix, some flour for the cake
And for dinner tonight - well, perhaps some nice steak.
      I need ham for our rolls; also one pound of cheese –
     And, oh yes, for the freezer, a packet of peas.

​

We have run out of milk, so this large one will do.
No, the smaller one's better for just me and you.
     Now, a dozen small eggs?  No, I think I'll buy large.
     Then there's sugar, of course, and a large tub of marg.

​

I must not forget teabags and coffee as well - - 
And this coffee's the best.  You can tell by the smell!
    Just a small bar of chocolate.  Here's my favourite one!
    I'll now pay at the checkout.  My shopping's all done!
