Please Mr Sainsbury, and Mr Tescos too!
Remember your all your customers
Who're less than five-foot-two.
Your stores are stocked with goodies, yes;
They rise up tier by tier,
But all those on the topmost shelves
We shorties can't get near.
We stand on tiptoe and reach up
In true aerobic stance
Alas! The tins are at the back:
We haven't got a chance.
And if we ask some kindly gent
To help, he always reaches
And grabs the other brand of beans
Or halves and not sliced peaches
So it behoves you Mr S and Mr T, you ought
To cut your overheads and not
Sell all us shorties short
