Rip Off

Rip Off

 

Designer labels I won’t buy.

Because I see no reason why

I should be advertising free

I think they should be paying me.

The prices asked truly obscene

 I am quite sure they would have been

 without the label half the price .

There’s no end to their avarice.

I will not be their willing tool

 I pride myself I’m not a fool

Should I see something which I like

 I buy a cheaper look alike.

Though you prefer designer clothes.

I don’t, I won’t pay through the nose.

I agree, I do not need some fancy label to look good. Cheap is more comfortable to wear. Nice write, thanks for sharing. PW
