For Sale

Here's a billboard ditty
To promote a super sell
Rousing those with surplus cash
To loudly ring their wishing bell

Exquisitely luxurious
Guaranteed to be admired
Mile high style flamboyantly
Way above things most desired

Purveyors of the super cool
Called me begging one for them
Though I reflected estimating
The carat value of my gem

Startled by my price tag
They shrank away to reconsider

Would not take part in cut and thrust

Or be the highest bidder

No matter what you think its worth
If you offer it for nowt
Suspicious minds will calculate 
It's hardly worth a shout
