don't go hungry

Big excitement on the Upper White Side! We can hardly contain ourselves since the opening of our very own Trader Joe's! The other ones in NYC are way down on Union Squaresville and out in Foodielyn. Now we can hoist our backpacks and push our doublewide strollers down to 72nd Street to buy our Organic Delights. I loaded up with pre-Thanksgiving supplies, wishing I'd eaten before I went down there. "I bet Fairway's running scared," I said to the cashier kid. "They're just a farmer's market," he said dismissively. "We're the rock star."

  1. I'm so glad Trader Joe's is just down the street now. Not that I will go but I know someone who will. Yum!

  2. Why, you could just get a Grey's Papaya special 2 and a drink on the way there to contain yourself.

  3. To Have and Have Not

    maybe ol' Trader Joe
    would better serve a craving
    if he rolled out his show
    in a place with less paving

    I sit up on the roof
    Pigeons coo cooned
    See the likes of Trader Joe
    Lament the old Zum Zum
