As I’m away at the moment, you have an extra week to prepare your pieces on the subject of SHOPPING. Limericks, poems, short stories – anything goes!

I walk through the ladies’ department of the store slowly, and without intention.
It seems strangely quiet.
I thumb through a few garments, but I have no idea why.
Then as I walk toward another area, I hear your voice and turn around.
But you are not there.
You are no longer in this world, you who gave me the gift of life.
I knew you, but I never did.
And you are not there.
When it comes to Christmas I tend
To go crazy and overspend
But it costs me dear
Cos all the next year
I’m paying back my flexible friend
