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.
