Paula Goldsmith Poet Rhyme

I Went Lampshade Shopping

I am taking a trip to an antique store,                                                           wow was all I could say when I opened the door.                                            There were antiques galore,                                                                       look over here there are even more.


I love that tall wooden dresser drawer,                                                        it would make my bedroom roar.                                                                 I will take that "Lampshade" the one I adore,                                              it is sitting on the painted floor.

 

I hope the store is having a price war,                                                          this is getting very "Expensive" and I want to score.                                                                                         Can I be "Convincing" if I cry some more,                                                       I don't want to leave my treasures and run out the door.

 

I got the "Lampshade" I asked for,                                                             now off to the bookstore.                                                                            I would love a book about the seashore,                                                      it would make my day and make me soar.
