Buy-Gones

The craft fair had some high-end things, Just waiting for a buyer. My friends found items that they knew They needed to acquire. Though I relished all the looking, Nothing seemed to call my name; I took pleasure in the purchases Of others, just the same. After lunch and conversation, We gave hugs and said goodbyes But a text an hour later Really took me by surprise. Seems a newly-purchased bracelet, One my pal could not resist, Simply fell apart as she rode home And tumbled from her wrist. Sure, she has the crafter’s email And she’ll try to get in touch But it kind of spoiled the afternoon We’d all enjoyed so much. Guess we never know if something Is a product to endorse Though today my lack of buying Means no ownership remorse! (thanks to my husband for the title)
