As Rich As A Queen Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Enjoyed walking to the shops, face ensconced
in a big hat with a mauve scarf - the spiritual
colour - enjoyed humming snatches of songs
and thinking of little things like new blouses
in shop windows, flaring white tops and little
dolls that do not cost much and shiny earrings

Being thrifty means having a choice between
bling-bling sunglasses, bling-bling earrings or
glittery white flowers to put on my hat - only
one of these objects will become mine, but
which; the marvellous feeling of waiting and
dreaming to see which I want the most

Makes me as rich as a queen…
