Shopping

Shopping is such fun—enjoy while you shop,
Shop to your heart’s content till you may drop,
This way you must hurry, that way you hop,                                              Hurry and scurry, as you have no time to stop. 

Coins and crisp notes in your pockets over fill,                                            There is Money aplenty to pay for your bill.                                                There are goodies and tidbits of varied sorts,                                               Balls and roller skates are for outdoor sports.                                             

There are dresses and fashionable cosmetics too.                                           Whatever you may want is there displayed for you.
When shopping is done, and you have to go home,
The weight you must carry is about a hundred stone.

You huff and you puff and regret having shopped,
Fun or no fun, you should have perhaps stopped!
