A Cheaper Me This Year

Last year I put myself on a budget Nothing I'd buy that I didn't need Till the time came I started to fudge it All the warning signs I didn't heed Far from a shopaholic I am But I'll admit I do like to spend Pretending I didn't would just be a sham Got a few bucks you might like to lend? Music cd's send me all awhirl Kitchen gadgets my weakness too Lovin' those shoes like a regular girl Oh but this year I'm thinkin' it through Better reel it in and tighten those reins Wishin' that money grew on trees Being cheap to myself is givin' me pains Not shopping brings me to my knees! **For New Year's Resolutions" contest Sponsored by Carolyn Devonshire

Great poem Deb. I enjoyed it. The rhyme is natural and the actions thoughts and desires are for real. / alas ..Good literature!

Ha...this season allowed me to buy a few more things than last year. I'm grateful for that. But, this piece is VERY relatable for me. Great job!
