Discounted Savings

The autumn sales are beckoning
I've hidden all the cash

Just in case she has a mind

To be impetuous and rash

She mostly has the upper hand
her rationale is smooth as honey

'Look at what I bought today

I've saved you so much money'

We have a modest budget
though savings never seem to grow

Moreover quite the opposite

On the downward side of low

Quite skilled with crosswords puzzles
on points of money I'm perplexed

With all those shopping savings

Our empty coffers have me vexed

The answer finally came to me

In a blinding obvious flash

Summer Autumn Winter Spring

Slashing prices slice your cash

Goodness me! I hear ecstatically
I have to grab that it’s so nice

Only yesterday two thousand bucks
A blinding steal at half the price
