Cheering up the Family

I`ve been sent down the supermarket for bread

but I lost my list and bought these instead!

Sourdough bread, as it sounded so good

a big chocolate cake, cus, I know I should

bright yellow flowers, to cheer mum up

and a new noisy toy for our little pup

sadly I  couldn`t buy any beer as they said no!

but Daddy I did give it a go!

some pick and mix and some Whoppers

skittles, Snickers  and colourful Gobstoppers

sorry I couldn`t manage to get baby`s nappy

Oh I did get some bread to keep mummy happy

Not sure mum was please with what I got from the store

but she`s never asks me to go shopping anymore!
