Poem
I spent my day shopping for rubies It's not a usual thing to do I usually shop on Tuesdays Then I just shop for two I dressed up in my best And caught a cab to town Hoping to invest In a ruby ring and evening gown Arriving at the jeweller's shop I was overcome with awe I felt my chin drop As I knocked a tray of pearls onto the floor Madame, "May I help you, Can I assist in any way?" "Yes, I came to buy a ruby ring Could you show me the display?" The assistant looked happy He unlocked the compartment of rings He was so brisk and snappy I thought he was about to sing The rubies were breath-taking They took my breath away I became more breathless At the price of them that day I knew they would be expensive These were far too dear The price was so extensive It made me feel quite queer I was embarrassed The assistant looked poised I felt very harrassed Silly and annoyed "Please take a seat, Madame Sit quietly for a while." Was there a hint of sarcasm In the assistant's smile Other customers were waiting to be served Looking at jewellery and gifts They thought they all deserved Or give a loved one's heart a lift. The shop was busy It was abuzz like busy bees Nobody was in a tizzy Except poor dishevelled me Standing up from the chair Trying to look haughty Waving my hand in the air I left feeling naughty Outside in the mall at last What a day it's been My day spent shopping for rubies Had been like a movie scene Feeling tired and muddled My feet were hurting me I cannot wait to catch the bus And go back to reality
