I passed it in Selfridges, <br />sauntered up to it, <br />kind of cool, kind of casual, <br />took two steps towards the label, <br /> <br />£300 was a high price to pay <br />and though it smelled heavenly, <br />made me feel rich, feel special <br />I couldn't bring myself to <br /> <br />well, not that day in that way, <br />on the spare of a moment, <br />without preparation <br />or forethought or time….. <br /> <br />So I walked away <br />but right up ‘til today <br />I've never forgotten <br />its soft, soft leather, <br /> <br />the way it wanted me, <br />clung to my hand, <br />stuck to my side <br />so guess what kids <br /> <br />mama's got a brand new bag!<br /><br />Ruth Walters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/seduced-6/
