Twenty brands of cornflakes
On the supermarket shelf.
A myriad minor choices -
"But is there something else?"
Sixty flavours of jam,
A hundred kinds of pop.
Tons of trivial choices -
But only one place to shop.
(US readers, Pop is soda!)

Haha... there's the name I've been looking for, but with a NEW poem, instead! Fully appreciate this, Jonnie!
To those from the northern part of the U.S., soda IS pop. I didn't encounter the word soda until I came south. Now, I actually prefer it, as it's more accurate... though soda does POP, in the mouth and stomach.

So the majority of the population would have understood me! That's what I get from too many Hollywood movies! I did this poem because I know some of my others need a bit of commitment to get to the end... Hope you are well and thanks once again for reading.

ALWAYS read your poems and postings, Jonnie.
Yep, most here would have gotten that... since those in the South pretty much know that those in the North call it pop.
