A Lady With Bright Ginger Hair

I love to find a bargain As I search the New Year sales I really could not live without That pair of giant bright pink snails I don’t know where I’ll put them Everywhere is chock-a-block But I know that I must have them They’re reduced by such a lot And over there A rainbow chair I have five more at home But surely I need just one more To make a set But can I get The darn thing through my door So I'd better get my skates on For soon it will be gone And then I see The very thing I’ve wanted all my life I make a dash I throw myself With one almighty thrust I am resolved to make it mine Before her over there A lady with bright ginger hair I cannot let her have it I push I shove I’m nearly there Before her over there A lady with bright ginger hair For as I passed I tripped her up She fell upon her butt Now she is down and out I’ll reach it now I have no doubt For after all its dog eat dog Or words to that effect And yet I will return again To be beguiled To be enticed With money off reductions It's a bargain at the price That something I can’t live without At New Year sales I’ll find no doubt… 10th January 2020 Contest Strand Choice 4 Sponsor Brian Strand 3rd Place

Haha this was a hoot Ann, loved the humour. I'd rather pay double than get caught in the stampede lol. Hope you're OK. Tom.

So pleased you liked it Tom. Though I have to admit I am not adverse to getting the odd bargain, though these days I shop online, as I can't stand the hoards, haha. Today seems like a good day and thanks so much for asking. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
