Shopping Acumen

Ladies, your shopping acumen is well known, but every now and then it wouldn’t hurt to take a man’s advice especially if the item is triple in price! So, when selecting bathroom tissue buy the plainest and cheapest. Here’s why. Stop and consider first it’s purpose, that alone will spare budget and purse from unecessary and costly splurging though hard to resist because alluring; especially if with floral prints (to make you think it’s genuine chintz) or, to appeal to your poetic side each sheet has poetic verses inscribed – to blind you to its hygienic purpose – each roll soaked with a scent so heavenly you’ll think you were there already! Such is today’s marketing psychology. But it’s not hopeless, at least it shouldn’t be if two essentials you keep in mind, namely the tissue’s use, and your rear’s illiteracy.

Thank you, Daniel. I do my best with the little that I have. I'll probably give this poem another editing. I already see a few places already where the meter and vocabulary can be improved. / Maurice
