Talking over the Grapes

We do have an exciting time down at the wholesale market at 4.30am!...

David Wilson and Sylvia’s husband

are talking over the grapes,

while I check out the bananas.

David Wilson pulls up a bunch

and shakes it.

Then Sylvia’s husband

says to me

there was this old woman

in me shop

on Saturday

and she picks up a bunch of grapes

and she says -

how much for these, love?

But she’s a bit

doddery

and the grapes are a bit

ripe

and by the time she’s finished the question

every grape had fallen off

the stalk.

Sylvia’s husband says

 I couldn’t stop laughing, me.
