Shopping

Author's Note:
I love to shop and it makes me smile so I wrote about it.

Finding some shoes
Or a sweater or skirt
Buying some pants
Or a necklace, a shirt
Trying it on
It fitting just right
It is just perfect
Not loose or tight
The garment so soft
So silky and clean
In it you dance
You dance oh so free
The piece is on sale
Fifty percent off
Outside you walk
You begin to cough
You go into stores
Outlets and malls
The buildings are huge
They are really tall
All the colors of clothes
All the sales going on
Animals on shirts
Like bunnies and fawns
You get up extra early
To get the best prices
You would drive youself
But you have no license
As you walk in the doors
A woman asks if she can help you
You say no, then you ponder
Do you
You walk around
For half an hour
You walk past a bakery
Full with flour
Once you walk into that store
You favorite store
You you're in heaven
Not the real world anymore
