Storecard Sally

Missing image
Dedicated to All Spendthrifts!



My name is Sally. I love to spend, spend, spend
My money never seems to come to an end
Thanks to my little my plastic friend:
My store card

That Debenhams dress is a tempting sight
It would look really great on a Friday night
And it won’t cost a penny ‘cos I’ll buy it, right?
On my store card

I’m in Comet now and that huge TV,
With cinema sound and an LCD
Costs nearly a grand, but to me it’s free
With my store card

In B&Q there’s a kitchen too
And a bathroom suite with a super loo!
My house will look as good as new
With my store card

The salespeople muttered about APR
Sounds like the reg of someone’s car
But who cares? I can go really far
With a store card…………

It’s eleven years since that spending spree
And the bloody bailiffs are still hounding me
There is no such thing as a meal that’s free
With a store card

Twenty-eight percent? “What a bore” you’ll sigh
But you will be paying it off till the day you die
It doubles the cost of the stuff you buy
With your store card.

    Now who does this remind you of Ken?!

    Mmm somehow this Sally gal seems a tad familiar! Now most of us women love to spend... spend... spend.. and spend.. so think this will apply to most of us gals apart from the miserly and frugal, but brilliant job here penning a 'cautionary tale' which indeed it is, and wise words too but since you are a money and investments guru it would be wise to take note... hard in shops though when that nice frock beckons etc ... etc..
    Poet laureate you are again here, with perfect rhyme, flow and fantastic vivid imagery so well and eloquently painting a picture in words of a typical spendthrift female you have a fantastic sense of humour too, wow what a fantastic poem, well done, love it bravo, write on! You are a natural and very talented poet.
    Poetic Hugs,
    Kaz.
