In a Bric-a-Brac Shop

"How much is the statue on the shelf?"
I asked the girl inside the shop.
"Dunno" she said, "I'll ask the boss."
And went behind a curtain.

" 'Arry, that statue in the front
'Ow much for it?" I heard her say.
A deep voice rumbled, "Wot's it like?"
"It's like some sorta soldier."

"Ask for a tenner," Harry said.
The girl came back, I paid in cash,
Then in a paper bag she wrapped
The statue of Athene.
