Supermarket giants
They're
Called - but
Unlike
Giants of
Old
They don't
Take
Cattle from
The
Fields or
Sheep
From out
The
Fold
Instead they
Eat
Up acres
Of
Green and
Pleasant
Land - insisting
As
They do
So
That they'll
Restore
It - and
It
Won't be
Long before
They'll
Blend with
All
That went
Before
Except that
Where
The grass
Once
Grew there's
Concrete
Door-to-
Door
Oh! they'll
Plant
Trees and
Shrubs
All right
But
They won't
Be
The native
Types
With acorns
Brown
Or
Berries red
For they
Might
Fall upon
Our
Heads and
Acorn-
Damaged folk
Might
Sue - and
And a
That
Of course
Would
Never do
So let's
Be
Grateful as
We
Queue up
At
The pumps
Or
In the
Store
For we
Can
Now shop
Round
The clock
And if
We
Should do
Till we
Drop
The
In-store
Cafe
Can provide
Both food
And
Drink till
We
Revive
Sufficiently to
Walk
Outside - load
Up
The boot
And
Homeward drive
And
What's a
Green
Field more
Or
Less when
We
Can shop
Without the
Stress
That once
Made
All this
Such
A chore -
And
Took us
Half
A day
Or
More - so
Raise
Your hats
To
Superstores
And
One-stop
Shopping
Evermore!
