The thought

That went into the item bought—

Ought

To be appreciated

Really.

 

You don’t KNOW—

(Or care) how much dough

A gift (with tags still attached!!) you throw

Away, or give to Oxfam

Cost.

 

On the other hand—

Myself and my merry band

Of charity shop grand

Sifters, will easily locate your discarded

Item.

 

And we’ll buy it—

Because (as with the case of this John Lewis lead crystal perfume bottle) it will easily fit

With my other charity shop treasures, and sit

Proud and loud, in all of its

Splendour.

 

But tell me this!!--which person alive--

Doesn’t dive--

Into a gift-like-this with vive??!?

 

I think I *might* know who!!

AN UNGRATEFUL MOO!!

POSSIBLY LIKE YOU (!!)--

(If you're not like me, 

And appreciate all things twee--

And pretty much free--

ie £5).

 

WHAT GROUNDS 

Did you have??---to throw away

Such a beauty!!

That was simply doing its dazzlingly lovely crystalline duty!!

Purchased retail for you--for 30 times sum that *I* secured this wee booty

With.

 

(**NB: All genders of moo apply equally).
