Glutton of thrift hits the poor pantry, again

 Cue up, it's free food, mind your elbows 

So what you retired 15 years ago 

Drawing a pork pension with a fine nib 

Wheel the hamper another foot 

The line shortens as the desperate and 

The greedy compete 

The lettuce not wilted rather overstocked 

The deli pesto, potato salad, get the last one before the woman on crutches snatch it 

It a dog eat dog open to all hand out 

You can always feed it to dog 

It insulates the fridge the past due dates make you feel younger each day 

You can afford some splurge 

Having grabbed lunch meat at the poor's pantry  

It buttresses some delusion in being thrifty 

When you're grifty 

Step on the scale the 195 tale 

Five foot hum the heart as fit as a plum 

Call a plumber, snake life first 

Oh look a six pound bratwurst 

When life's a bowl of cherries 

Swallow the pits after grinding them with molars 

What canary? I don't see your canary? 

The quizzical face barely fits in the feathers, the sticker stuck to the tonsils 

No one notices, it burps indiscrete
