EOFY Sales

Shopping is fun
With my beloved daughter
During the end of financial year sales
'For that price they could have added the buttons'
Says she looking at the hefty price tag
Accompanying a jacket.
To a lovely red leathered tote bag
That I was stroking sensuously
I heard a hushed but distinctive
'Keep stroking it, mum'
Once she had found the so called
Discounted label.
For shame we found a dress
Dearer than the hand made
Alto recorder we just ordered
That will take two years
To be ready to play!
And they dare to call it Sales!
