Super

Where did Tess go?
I hear she’s doing quite well
Despite fears induced by a shift
In prices blamed on continental drift
But she returned home sans berries
Because now they’re too expensive
And she Asda make do with cheaper alternatives
And consider Aldi options
To make the most of her devalued pound
Cos every Lidl helps
But do we need more rice on?
I think Rose will just have to Wait
But what’s that over there?
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
No it’s just a big shop.
Is there anything ‘super’ about that?

      Well done you! I’m not sure I’d have managed the same outside of the UK 🙂

    Brilliant! Very of the moment. The British domestic version of Ice Cream by the rapper Raekwon.

    Tess could have gone to Specsavers, but she didn’t! Nicely done – weren’t we all?
