Ruby Ramble
I spent my day shopping for rubies,
And what a day it was I swear,
A rollercoaster you could say,
For a ruby that I could flaunt and wear!
It all started with an invite,
A tiny little card which read
"Cordial invitation to you dear friend",
And to attend the same I would be very glad.
My thoughts then suddenly pondered ,
To the new red gown I had bought
It would match very well with a Ruby brooch
Aaah ! and that's what triggered my thought!
I drove out to the market next morning,
Starting from the highland mall
Hopping from one shop to another,
No, I wasn't having a ball!
Hither and thither I was roaming ,
In search of that one little jewel ,
But couldn't find that one special piece,
That would make my heart with pride swell !
My feet were tired and limping,
I knew I had to put a stop
For I tripped and hurt my toe in this sojourn,
Yet I was determined not to give up.
Suddenly then, did I realise,
That the sun was going down
But that precious Ruby brooch I wanted,
Was no where in the town.
Much exhausted and weary,
I was almost heading back
The feeling was not very good I say,
Even though I bought a Ruby for my neck.
Amidst the flickering city lights,
A glow sign caught my sight,
"Precious rubies sold here" it read,
All shining and bright!
At once I screamed with delight,
Startling the driver of the cab,
He was so bewildered and confused,
That he stopped the car with a drag.
Crossing my fingers I stepped in,
To this brand new Jewellery shop ,
The glitz and glitter was dazzling,
I knew it was my one last stop.
And among those dazzling beauties,
One ruby outshone the rest,
I knew, that was the one I was wanting,
To adorn my beautiful chest.
All's well that ends well
I hear the people say,
So it's a day spent well at last,
And I returned home happy and gay!
