Date-O, He Say Date-O

New Market Farm Stand

Slog all day on the fumes o’ rum;
Workday done and you wanna go home.
Nothing in house ’cept coffee and Tums,
And a frozen dinner that tastes like memory foam.

Come, Miss Dorito Chick, buy thee a banana.
Get your butt to New Market Farm Stand.
A new produce store in Dorchester,
No more dinners preprocessed or canned.

Beautiful bunch o’ ripe bananas!
Costs one third of same at Whole Paycheck.
Convenient hours make shopping a snap,
There’s even free parking in back for your wreck.

Six grapes, seven plums, eight pears — brunch!
Daylight comes and you’ll wanna buy more.
Lettuce and carrots and peppers — lunch!
No more need for chain grocery store.

New Market Farm Stand, 1299 Massachusetts Avenue, at Columbia Road, Edward Everett Square, Dorchester.
