Round and Round
Millie gave a bag to her daughter in law
She’d had it too long, it held no flaw
Tracey hated it, so donated
The charity shop were so elated
–
Jude loved vintage, it was her thing
Bright colours and a bit of bling
Jude so liked the low price tag
And thought to herself, ‘I’ll have that bag!’
–
She was such an impulse buyer
but the bag’s colour didn’t match her attire
So off it went, to another charity
Could it be sold for fifty pee?
–
The shop’s manager took it instead
She liked the hue, a strong deep red
But it got stolen on a long train ride
The bag was empty, so she didn’t really mind
–
The train cleaner sneaked it home
He could sell it to pay off a loan
He’d try to flog it at the big car boot
Perhaps it was worth a lot of loot?
–
Jack picked up a bargain that day
A bag for his wife, not a lot to pay
Pat put it on an auction site
It sold very quickly, in fact that night
–
Now the bag has another owner
A sixty- something Scot called Shona
In another month or two
This bag will pass – to me or you?
