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!
