In reality a shopping spree is really quite a bore,
Rabid consumption makes me angry and even quite sore,
I look around at all the plastic and crap,
I only went into B&Q to find a tap,
I left the shop having bought three,
Silly girl! I forgot the size you see,
And now I have seven pot plants and a key,
They were doing this weird offer and it was for free,
Get a key cut and have seven hydrangea for me,
It’s hard to say no on something that good,
Although I know I could have and really should,
As I have no space in my house at all,
The cupboards are full and so is the hall
Give them as gifts my sister said,
But with lack of water they are all dead,
So off I go to Next to buy,
More clothes and shoes! My husband will cry,
Just say you like them or shut your face,
I’m only playing my part in this rat race,
If I didn’t buy them then who would?
I did it to help the economy and it felt good,
And finally food shopping now that’s a chore,
I return with shopping bags galore,
Forget the list and the diet plan,
There might be a shortage so buy while you can,
Some would say this is a sorry tale,
But look John Lewis is having a Sale!
Namaste and Thank You for Reading. 🙏
