Dinner for Two

Ground beef scanned in, �It�s red as our new apartment�s counter top.�
One half pound was the lightest the scale could recognize.

Tomato sauce with basil, one can. �Say, basil reminds me
of our palm tree, the one in the picture over our bed.�

Noodles, �we�ll have to use our pan,
maybe next week we can buy ourselves a pot.�

A peach and a can of green beans,
�those are just as green as your silly Home Sweet Home doormat.�

�One dollar, seven quarters, four dimes,
three nickels, and eighteen cents.�

Two whiffs of a rose,
Someday soon they�ll be able to buy.

I was inspired by a couple in front of me at the check-out line. I had forgotten the innocence of newlyweds. It's such a special, marvelous time.
