The Grocery War
Celery have launched a major offensive.
Crackers have dropped leaflets and jammed Radio Free Poultry.
Tomatoes have made a stand in an old department store...they may have enough gelatin prisoners to make some kind of deal.
A dazed mango wanders throught the streets as loaves of bread rumble past on the way to the gravy front.
Bags of sugar patrol the skies.
In a house, a mother is making dinner for herself and her daughter.
"We must not do this, it is against The War Act," she says.
On the edge of the city, eggnog has gained a foothold.
Bacon has been subdued.
Some canned goods start up the walk towards a house...

LOL, thanks everyone. I wrote a whole series of these, years ago. I am still kind of partial to them.
