Keep Your Caviar

A supermarket after half six is a povo’s paradise. 

We raid those discount shelves like Vandals in Rome, 

roaming for a veggie bacon to call our own. 

While you’re out sampling Kobe beef and Bordeaux, we’re snipping the plastic off a stone-baked creation. 

Sure, it’s just frozen pizza to you, 

but that’s Saturday night sorted. 

“Cheap and cheerful” steps up to the plate again.
