My New Bed

I did some online shopping

I bought a brand new bed

It didn’t fit inside my room

I sent it back instead.

And with my refund money

I bought a rusty car

Since I don’t have my licence

I couldn’t drive it far.

So when I got my money back

I bought a double bass

It turns out I can’t play it

I sent it back post-haste.

By that point all my money

Had dwindled quite a bit

But with the cash remaining

I bought a sewing kit.

It turns out I am useless

I don’t know how to sew

I sent back all the gear and then

Bought jackets for the snow.

Now I live in the desert

The only snow I see

Is stuff on Christmas movies and

The snow that’s on TV.

I sent away my jackets

And got my cash returned

I bought some brand new glasses but

My eyesight’s fine, I learned.

Now once I sent the glasses

Back to the factory

The only money I got back?

A dollar seventy.

I need to do some saving

Cos though my bed is fine

I think I’d like a new one

I might get one online.
