FOOD COUNT: Nottingham Forest - Saturday 20th September

This coming Saturday the Clarets fight,
Forest await in their red and white.
To bring us luck, to spur our team,
We count our food, as is the dream.
Aldi’s treasures, fresh and sweet,
Four hundred grams of berries to eat.
So raise your hands, join the shout,
Let’s start the game — the blueberry count!
Ange and Parker, tactics tight,
Whilst Blueberries bless the Clarets’ fight.
Turf Moor cheering, loud and true,
This berry count will see us through.
Now wearing red, a face we all know,
Chris Wood returns, the Turf shall show.
But blueberries will tip the scales our way,
Good fortune for Burnley, this food count Saturday!
Total number of blueberries in the container
and
Total weight of all packaging
Count closes at 1:00pm
Wishing you all the very best of blueberry luck!
John
SCORING:
10 points for a direct hit
5 points for nearest guess (if not direct)

199 Blue balls of Vitamin C goodness.
9 grams of plasticky badness.
Cracking poem too John I wonder if we will get many more budding Laureates popping up with witty ditties.
