Instead of sweets or chocolates or wine,
This year I’ve taken a different line,
And given up window shopping for Lent,
Mindful of all the time I’ve spent
Throughout the year just looking at things
From clothes to chairs to diamond rings,
Which I had little intention to buy,
But gazed at them, while time flew by.
By Easter I hope I will have achieved,
Slightly more that I believed
I might, when I decided then,
I wouldn’t waste time on shopping again
For six whole weeks; enabling me
To use my time more meanfully.
