Newly weds,
My Thailand wife and I
Back in the United States.
Weekly, we would shop
For groceries together.
Bea did not read or write English.
When shopping, she would rely on
Shape, size and color.
One day, arriving at the store,
I said, start shopping, I'll be back in a few.
Needed a haircut, close by.
Upon returning,
Bea had a cart full.
Shopping All done
Ready to go.
At the checkout
I unloaded the cart,
Item by item.
I noticed five small green cans.
I picked one up and asked,
What's this?
Bea explained, tuna fish.
I said, no dear - cat food!
I noticed a small white tube.
I asked, What's this?
Bea explained, tooth paste.
I said, no dear - skin care!
Shape, size and color the same,
But, a World of difference.
That night we almost ate
Cat Food Casserole.
