Hi there, David;-)

I have just 'tuned in' to ABC after being seduced by a pair of 'must have' sheepskin boots on a well known internet site, and have succumbed to their charms...now I read this and I feel so very, very guilty;-)

Seriously though, a brilliantly crafted poem,much enjoyed.

Thank you so much Tina, I am always pleased when you read, comment upon and enjoy my poems.

Though I hate to say it, its often the "guilty" purchases that are the most pleasurable.

I like this too kheldar - and it's a very good inspiration point!

Tina, it's ok to buy sheepskin boots. there's no need to feel guilty. They are a necessity, like bread.

Atta girl!!;-)

Oops, David, sorry...Congrats about the cherry. More than deserved.

I love the superb rhyming in this, I will never think of piggy banks in quite the same way again,:}

Shirley and Julie, your appreciation is as ever truly appreciated

Ah, so this is what started the whole scramble of poems about yearning to save.
Very rhythmic and enjoyable, kheldar. Many good lines to choose from. I have selected the final ones to be representative of the entire poem:
"By burgeoning bills, by Whitehall's ills
By national debt, by all beset,
I bet my belt must tighten yet.
My "urge to splurge" now "dust to dust"
From boom to bust I must adjust."
Congratulations on the cherry.

Thanks so much for that luigi, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Sorry I'm so late to this, David! Just been so busy with my final week at uni - but now I'm home safe and sound :) This is wonderful - the assonance makes it flow so well. Very deserving of a cherry! Merry Christmas ;)
