Page 4 NORTHWEST HERALD Section B Wednesday, August 21,1985 Food Ode to shopping: Winning store sonnets By Martin Sloane I often watch other shoppers race up and down supermarket aisles, some with great vigor and obvious pleasure. Naomi Spigle of Mishawaka, Ind., the grand-prize winner of my Fourth Annual Supermarket Shop- _^---per*Poelfy €ompetition, has cap­ tured the spirit of just such a shopper. The poem has no title, but in this column it doesn't really need one: Have you heard of this wonderful shopper, So proficient that no one can top 'er? She can handle her cart, With such skill and such art, Nothing less than an earthquake could stop 'er. Down the produce-filled aisles she will dash, Grabbing veggies and fruit in a flash. Then to seafood and fish, For a lush gourmet dish, Adding canned goods and pasta and hash. With her cart barely touching the floor, She buys oatmeal and crackers and more. Choosing chickens and chops, Plucking sponges and mops, She's the customer stock boys adore! With her coupons clutched tight in her fist, She dispenses with memo or list. She can price by the ounce, And her checks never bounce, There is nothing worth buying she's missed! Second prize goes to Judy Knight of Norway, Maine, for her poem "Produce Lament": We're brothers and sisters in this aisle, Fresh produce we are called. Spinach green and lettuce crisp, And turnips that are bald. We watch the shoppers as they pass, All hoping they won't stop. For when they do, they pinch the grapes, Or thump the melon's top. Or even worse, they poke the plums, Or shake the kiwi fruit. Then down the aisle they go a ways, And squeeze the pears, to boot! We breathe a sigh when lights go dim, The store's closed, our minds mesh. We're so abused, mishandled, hurt -- Yet we're the ones called "fresh."
