Judy And Punch Go Shopping Poem by Raj Arumugam

PROLOGUE

see, do you see?
Judy and Punch
are shopping
Like the loving couple they are
they are at it together


ACTION!

Punch puts in a carton of beer
into the trolley
And Judy hauls it out immediately
and puts it back on the shelf -
'It's too expensive, honey, '
says Judy. '$50 a carton, that's too much money'


Now Judy is in the "Beauty" section
and picks a Beauty Pack for $100
and Punch protests immediately:
'That's what's too much money! '

'Oh, but you do want
me to look beautiful, darling -
don't you? ' says Judy, with a smile

'Yeah, sweetheart,
but half the price
would have done the trick! '
says Punch, with a counter-smile


EPILOGUE

Now, what do you think
happens after Punch's punch line?
Do you think Judy makes
the literal and the metaphorical merge?
Are the stars Punch sees literal
or figurative, you think?
