Quite Enough
The emails are relentless
With their discounts, deals and sales
And in my former life I’d follow
All those tempting trails.
I’d rush off to the stores in search
Of bargains I could buy,
Especially when gifted with
A coupon to apply.
At times, I’d even shop online
If shipping costs were free,
Indulging in an “I can just return them”
Shopping spree.
But now those emails I delete
Since I don’t need new stuff,
For in my current life my wardrobe’s
Really quite enough.
Perhaps one day I’ll feel the urge
To purchase something new,
Yet as for when that day will come
I haven’t got a clue.
