Some people have a problem, one that can take it's toll. <br />To them it's like an addiction, totally out of control <br />These people that I write about, are just like magpie's <br />but they are also cunning and very wise <br />They walk into peoples houses, with their eyes on what they got <br />and before you know it, they have bought the bloody lot. <br />They go to the market with less than a fiver to spend, <br />then if they see a bargain, they ponce the money from a friend. <br />They think they are clever, when they haggle with the vendors, <br />but money ain't nothing to the last of The Big Spenders. <br />I have learnt from my experience what collecting <br />does to the brain. you spend your life searching <br />and it almost drives you insane. <br />Off you go to an auction with anticipation at hand, <br />then you're out bidded by the best dealer in the land. <br />A collectors world can be fun, <br />if you know where to buy the goods, <br />but I am an old fool who is still trying to find, <br />a way out of the woods.<br /><br />sylvia spencer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-collectors-world/
