Enjoyed walking to the shops, face ensconced <br />in a big hat with a mauve scarf - the spiritual <br />colour - enjoyed humming snatches of songs <br />and thinking of little things like new blouses <br />in shop windows, flaring white tops and little <br />dolls that do not cost much and shiny earrings <br /> <br />Being thrifty means having a choice between <br />bling-bling sunglasses, bling-bling earrings or <br />glittery white flowers to put on my hat - only <br />one of these objects will become mine, but <br />which; the marvellous feeling of waiting and <br />dreaming to see which I want the most <br /> <br />Makes me as rich as a queen…<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-rich-as-a-queen/
