\nTesco Express,
\nI went everywhere,
\nall over
\nthe wet land
\nof Mutley Plain –
\nscouring,
\nshuffling,
\npeeping.
\nI strode
\nwide pavements,
\nI was Chief
\nExplorer,
\nI was Roald
\nAmundsen
\nof the vital
\npregnant
\nquest.
\nand though
\nI didn\u2019t
\nfully
\nunderstand it,
\nI did it for love
\nand so their bellies
\nwere full
\nand warm.<\/p>\n
