Belfast Bargains : Childrens Poetry

Quality goods in Littlewoods .
The bright lights of Shaftsbury Square .
If you're looking or buying,
all you need is a bus fare ,
or a tiger in the tank to appreciate all you'll see .
There's leather gear ,
rings for your ear,
even coffee in a cup .
Knives that carve,
or a scarf for your head,
and ozone safe make up .
Cornmarket stalls with shopping malls ,
they're begging you please come see .
Belfast bargains and botanic gardens .
They're a sight to see !
Clothes and clogs .-smocks and clocks .
Velvet gloves ,slippers ,yards of carpet .
Radios and records undercover in Smithfield market .
Good gas lighters and writing pens for writers of quality .
Belfast bargains and botanic gardens come and walk with me .
Bars for your gut .Keys cut for cars .
There's something to drive you mad ,
like crazy collisions and
some provisions that you nearly had .
Sofas for sitting -beds for your head .
Cards without poetry .
Belfast bargains and Botanic gardens ,
a quare place to be .Linens and ropes ,tobacco and soaps .
Ships and trains .-the harbour the Barbers, bakers, butchers,
hovis wholemeal grains .
Anybody with a good eye can see it's top quality .
Belfast bargains and Botanic gardens ,
all is well you'll see .
C and a comforts -Woolies .
Summertime blues .caps for the head .
in this business of life nothing changes till we are dead .
Belfast bargains and botanic gardens.
Stay and be happy .
