O Contentious Consumer
on to shopping paths hallow.
Doggedly, without humor,
rush out, splurge and follow!
So yet again on foray.
Ever jolted, wriggling,
heading among us moray,1
on raids ever niggling.
But why cower splattered by cheap flatter,
acting out in fallacious the fable?
Enamored by incessant chatter,
settling for crumbs off life’s rich table?
