A PIECE OF STRING

A Piece of String

When I wander around the shops
I tend to forget everything
So in order to remember
On my finger I tie a string

I window shop till I drop
All the goods, sparkly and new
Wishing for this and for that
Well, wouldn�t you

I�d come to buy a present
For a birthday that was due
The string was there to remind me
There to give me a clue

When I got home I was in for a shock
For I found after my shopping fling
That I hadn�t got what I�d gone for
I�d purchased a ball of string
