Final Clearance

Are these words true?
what do they really mean?
many shops portray them
are people so very green?

So many are taken in
believing their every word
but it's not always so
when you're hearts stirred

The cheap price is appealing
a bargain we always like
but when the competitions tough
just tell them to get on your bike

It's all economics out for quick buck
to draw us all in just two for one
but that's where we all keep falling down
can't say no when we should just run!

(When visiting Loch Lomond shores shop mall recently, saw the display 'final clearance' made me think of its effect on people. )

Stores use so many ways to get us to buy more items than we need to... then offer the same items on sale at a lower price after we've already bought them... An interesting observation you make with this poem. Nicely written and very well rhymed, Gordon!
