Eduncle Best Answer
The poem 'The Grocer's Children' is a nursery rhyme written by Herbert Scott. Herbert Scott was an American poet and founding editor of the literary New Issues Press, which he started in 1996. The word tainted here is used for the stale and spoiled food which becomes a greater help for the grocer's children. It is an ironic poem which introduces the dilemma of hunger and miserable state.
