If you opened up your wallet moths would fly out
the phrase skinflint comes to mind
I try not to be unkind
but your looking for a bargain
preferably free
unfortunately
you’re about as generous as Scrooge before a Christmas carol.
You think charity is a bird in retail
you’d only understand if things were in old money
if 50p’s the right price for my art
go away you old fart
you wouldn’t spend a subsistence farmers weekly wage in a year
I thought I was on a budget
but fudge it if you could take the shirt of my back you would
I spend hours on my craft
you find me daft
you think I am stroppy
go on buy my art and make photocopies
for your friends
they’d shut all shops
if they’d rely on you to spend
come to think of it I haven’t seen many
maybe your spendthrift ways are drifting
through town
closing all the shops
no wonder the economies on the down turn
won’t you ever learn!
