Looked longingly at heads piled high,
Wanted to grab them, but let out a sigh,
88 cents called me, I grabbed pricier food,
Thoughts of chef salad and BLTs collude,
$4 zucchini, $7 chard,
Can be cooked, raw is barred.
Not a chance for a salad bowl,
Bye bargain lettuce and bankroll.

Anita, great use of rhyme and alliteration. I especially like your last time: "Bye bargain lettuce and bankroll".
Great way to use current events!
When is a bargain not a bargain. Great poem. Timely. arjeha
