To the Shoppers, To Make Much of Dimes

A Magpie Tale
with apologies to Robert Herrick



Gather ye soup cans while ye may;
according to the flyer,
the price that seems so low today,
tomorrow will be higher.



Do you keep a stock of food for emergencies? 
The smart folks at Food Storage Made Easy can show you how!

    I only stock what I grow, and that's more than enough.

    Your poem (and its title) are a wonderful twist on Herrick's poem.
