A girl called Molly
went to a shop
where she bought a nice top
which cost her pretty polly.

When she looked in her purse
poor Molly
almost wanted to curse.
No left-over lolly!

In the morning, amongst her pottery,
while eating her crackers
she found a ticket from the lottery.
Guess! 10.000 smackers!!

In another big shop
Polly saw a nice car.
The dealer asked: "You want to swap?
It will take you far!"

"Well, it's a nice bargain", so she thought,
"and the world's open wide".
It was beautiful and bought.
Then she took a long ride.

Her husband said: "Honey,
you're very witty
but the rest of the money
goes straight into the kitty".

and so ended Molly's spending spree !!
a lovely upbeat poem, Berry, and a bit of a warning as well, maybe

Ah spending Molly
And her lolly
quickly went
All spent

I liked your portrait, Berry - amusing but also cautionary.

All the funny expressions are based on the television program Bargain hunt. Just to let the people know who are not familiar with that program on the BBC.

Good one I like to watch Bargain Hunt as well

that made me smile

Berry,
Good poem. I very much enjoyed the read, although I am not familiar with "Bargain Hunt."
