20 Per Cent Off Sale

Here's my take on sale prices so stores don't take a loss They jack up prices 20% and put them on sale for 20% off We're on to their tricks Think we're thick as bricks We're at their mercy so at their 20% sales, I scoff

Oh my I would rather just pay the price without all of the bafflegab and chicanery and avoid the crowds. I give them the look at the counter. You know the one that yells in their ear; I know what you are up too.

The meaning of life is consumption//Unless one has enough gumption//To ignore the ploys//and promotional noise//"Consumers are fools" — Seller's assumption. BOYCOTT ON JACKSON!!! 'tis why I like yard sales, I get my spendfix, but at a much lower cost;-)

I must say, I believe it was a store here that marked up their prices by almost double then gave a 30% discount! They showed the mark-up right on the ticket, sad! Your poem is wonderful my friend! I almost missed this one, can't believe that! But this one is a Fabulous piece, Great Work!!
