Shop Sale

Charityshop Sale - Poem by Marie

looking in the shop window I stood there in shock 
Special offer it said, clearance of old stock 
I knew I had to have it, The price was so Right 
On the way home I held it close and very tight 

I almost dropped it, there was snow on the ground 
God I am so Lucky, I cant believe what I found 
In The house I unwrapped it, with a glint in my eye 
I quickly put it on the shelf, thinking how lucky am I 

I stood there and I watched it, It felt so good to own 
Oh NO cried my husband, All he does is moan 
My sister and my mother smiled and picked it up 
I shouted don't you dropp it, my sister said shut up 

To some it doesn't seem much to me its everything 
I just cant resist an old pot doll that can sing 
It only cost two Quid, Its a bargain in a charity shop 
My hubby says my doll buying really has to stop
