Ode to a Blueberry
By Thrifty Foods

You bring us your best under the hot BC sun,
Oh how that must be so much fun
Throughout the day and throughout the night,
You pamper our little blueberries just right

Without you, we would be so blue

And with just a dollop of whip cream,
You help make our desserts a dream...

BC GrownIntroducing Thrifty Foods blueberries.
