laura's modern shopping venture
i entered the shop
and then i stopped
seeing something , i hopped
with happiness , i hopped
singing, dancing , smiling,
laughing, jumping, hopping,
rolling. rocking,whistling,
i was glad i was shopping
there were luscious apples
and he offered me some samples
i checked my purse for some money
and to my dismay, i had no penny
but the apples are as sweet as honey
oh god, i want some money
so i ran down home
but found no gold
but i wanted the apples,
luscious red tasty apples
so i asked the shopkeeper
{ when to the market returned}
" oh dear, i have no money for your apples
but they are too tasty, can i have some samples?
i will give you the money tomorrow
come to my home, the next morrow"
he said he wanted no money
and i could take some for free
he knew for them i was hungry
he knew i was too thirsty
so i took the apple
my very own sample
and ate that, simple
tasted too good, that apple
the shopkeeper returned the next morning
i thought, i will buy the tasty thing
but to my surprise, he had nothing
but he came to tell me something
" dear lady, i gave you an apple
and though i said it was a free sample
because i saw you were too hungry
and you could not curb your desire for honey
but dear, i ant something in return
and no , nothing from your purse
but i like your beautiful golden hair
and that would do for your share"
i told him it was okay and gave him my hair
but asked him to return again with the apples
he went dancing, singing , whistling for his share
and i waited for days for the tasty apples.
i went shopping everyday but found no apples
they said, no apples could be found in summer
and then i longed for the luscious samples
that gave me that good shopkeeper
i wanted those apples badly
but could not get them , sadly
i waited till the winter season
waited, waited,waited with the reason
to shop for some apples
tasty, luscious apples
the winter came but not apples
not those tasty apples
and then i thought i can't ever get them
so then i stopped waiting for them
but one day again after some years
i heard him selling those apples, heard it in my ears
and i could not stop myself
i ran and ran and ran
and with a truck an accident i had
i got injured and went to the hospital
(with evil smiles)
and the doctor said;
" girl you will be fine
just don't shop this time"
(with evil smiles)
" an apple a day keeps the doctor away"
note;
{with due respect and reference to christina rossetti's goblin market}
