Went shopping a bit, and with Christmas time near
there was a ton that I wanted to buy
I saw decorations that would look so nice here
and all of the fixin's for pie
A warm fuzzy blanket, a really nice coat
and boots that I wished that were mine
a game that I wanted (Santa, please note..)
all discounted, so said the sign
Something for him, something for her
I know just what they'd like
oh, and this for my friend that would love it I'm sure
A great price on a brand new bike
I want this and want that, 'twas all on sale
so the savings would be so divine
and with a swipe of the plastic (If it doesn't fail)
all of this could be mine
So I filled up my cart and headed to buy
With a cart full of stuff and of things
but I thought of the cost and I wanted to cry
'cause it tugged on my frugal heart strings
So I put away what I didn't need
I searched down deep in my heart
And I saved a ton when I fought against greed
In the end, was an empty cart!
This brings back so many memories of you growing up. Like in 5th grade when Mr. Jorgensen couldn't keep you busy enough and told you to write the longest story you had ever written. At the time there was a commercial on TV about CREST toothpaste, and you referenced it and I still remember that to this day!
