Retail Therapy

Retail Therapy

By Kathy Koches

 

Sadness, longing, deep despair,

Disappointment, I don’t care

What’s my problem, here’s the plan

Make me happy, if you can.

 

One thing’s sure to do the trick

Whether I’ve been sad or sick

Take me shopping, let me play

This will take my blues away.

 

Small tianguis, giant mall

Chic boutique, I love them all

Dresses, jeans, a purse, new shoes

Jewelry’s sure to fix those blues.

 

Housewares, knick knacks, gadgets too

All will make me feel brand new

A “shopaholic” I may be

But retail therapy works for me!
