And all through the town,
Not a tinsel was hanging,
The lights were all down
Decorations discarded,
Old trees left to stink,
The bright red of Christmas
Turned Valentine's pink.
Would the holiday cheer
Be drained from the stores?
Would the samples a-plenty
Become forgotten lore?
Would Old Trader Joe
Show his miserly ways?
Would the great Fresh & Easy
Put away all its trays?
Out to the chill
Went our sampling band,
Taking leave from Black Monday
With an outstretched hand.
Inside Fresh & Easy
What a welcoming sight!
Hot soup, nuts and cheese puffs,
The world was still right.
Even old Trader Joe,
The perpetual Scrooge,
Served hot chicken wings
(For him, kinda huge.)
So with one ounce of coffee,
Into day's fading light,
Happy sampling to all,
And to all... a good night.
Spirit, if not holiday spirit, still in effect at Fresh & Easy.
Trail mix, juice water, butternut squash soup & cheese puffs. Additional beverages not pictured.
Trader Joe's's typically meager offering. However, Hosea assured me the wings were quite good.
As always, fantastic coffee. This was Guatemalan.
WINNER: FRESH & EASY.
