A fiver can get you
a book without an ending.
It will never be sad, but it will never be happy.
Cliffhangers after cliffhangers
are a bookworm's arch nemesis.
A fiver can get you
some sparkling trinkets.
They're made by the artist's hand,
and they're blessed by the artist's soul.
A fiver can get you
Chinese teddy bears
whom enjoy drink and drugs,
and being cute about it.
A fiver can get you
Shit and sugar latte
with Japanese schoolgirls
and American superheroes.
A fiver can get you
octopus balls
dressed in batter
and mayonnaise
A fiver can get you
2 cans of soda.
Alas these conventions
are ever so pricey.
A fiver can get you
a fluffy little pen,
a couple of rainbow flannels,
and vibrant stationery.
A fiver can get you
some things, but not others
More often more pennies are needed.
If in doubt, blame Brexit!
