Roger McGough -- Vinegar

sometimes
i feel like a priest
in a fish & chips queue
quietly thinking
as the vinegar runs through
how nice it would be
to buy supper for two

I discovered the anthology The Mersey Sound in about 1970 and this was my favourite poem in it. In the many intervening years, if ever, albeit rarely, I were asked the poem that moved me the most, Vinegar would be my answer.
