The haggler has no idea how to haggle really, the
vendor thinks, not realizing she gets more things for
a dollar, a fifty cent piece and a quarter than anyone
else in the world.
The buyer leaves with her dollar intact.
There is another garage sale two houses down, right?
Would you take a dollar?

Would you take a fifty-cent piece?

Being rather shy myself,i have took this onboard
people from all walks of life, a differant approach toward
many varieties blatant,cheeky,funny or just plain kind
our good friend Maca,accumulates,and so this you will find.
He could haggle a haggler at his height
and win,hands down without no plight
yet genorousity, thoughtfullness and he is so neat
his old saying being " shy kids get no sweets"
He has an air about him,that puts you ease
is a ladys gentleman,sometimes a little tease
in times of needs or trouble,he wouldn`t turn his back
even when you`re being accused, of claiming his big mac. ;)
