Ye Old Consignment Store

Oh, ye old consignment store,

You hold memories a la mode.

An old jean jacket, a mini skirt,

A sequined dress, a satin shirt.

Clothes worn once as valued treasures

Hanging in hope for second-hand pleasure.

I want something that looks brand-new,

While sorting through sizes of similar hue.

There’s a 70s poly, some 80s jammers,

90s bibs, and clothes that clammer–

For eclectic style or Soho groove;

Designer labels–they all seek to prove

A shopper’s worth and fashion finesse.

At reduced cost, I dress to impress.

But what excites me more than ponies or whales

Is the label that says 40%-off Sale.
