Through the shopping Arcades
full of various trades.
Folk go on a mission
with just one ambition.
To find some great bargains
within some tight margins.
Funds are in a low state,
makes the poor heart deflate.
No designer labels
laid out on ‘posh’ tables,
will attract them to buy,
when the price is too high.
Window glancing today,
at what’s put on display.
Credit cards, they are bad.
Build arrears, so sad.
Save enough, pay your way.
Best advice to convey.
A much happier you,
when you’ve paid what is due.
What you’ve bought is now yours,
no account at the stores.
Why be saddled with debts,
loaded down with regrets.
If you reserve your cash,
don’t go spending slapdash.
Then the sum will be good,
to spend just as you would
For there’s offers out there,
on clothes ready to wear.

Hard cash is acceptable everywhere why spend what you havent got for things you don't because they seem like a bargain

Very different from generally spoken themes...preaching good advice...and I like
these lines..
'Credit cards, they are bad.
Build arrears, so sad.
Save enough, pay your way.
Best advice to convey.'..

__________SHIPS ON SITE_________
What a treat, that we meet you and i
Too bad our chances with lotto won't find
Such timing & luck, but that's alright
Cuz seeing your name on this confounded site
Is our ships finally passing in the night.
I bid you good sailing, 'til we meet by the light.
