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}
