I often struggle to exercise self-restraint
Temptations are plenty, and I am no saint
When online retailers hold their surprise sales
E-mailing reminders, any attempt at restraint fails
Seventy percent off is too good to ignore
It’s a good time to update my wardrobe some more
Being good at arithmetic, I can calculate
Quite quickly the reduced price, and satiate
Myself with the victory of having scored a good deal
A savvy shopper and a fashionista- that’s how I feel
Ignoring that small admonishing voice within my head
“This money could be used for necessary items instead”
Granted, gorgeous items were found at prices unbeatable
Buying them, though not essential, did seem reasonable
I wait for items to go on sale, so that I can buy
What I like; I hate paying full-price, I can’t deny
It is so simple to order stuff online
Just a few clicks, no need to even sign
Online shopping is a boon and a curse
It has certainly loosened the strings of my purse!
