Who's Rosy Now?

Was discussing with a friend in bmails, the economy and how things were in the past and this poem bubbled up! lol

Amazing the way style goes around! I wonder if the next gen of kids want everything neat as a pin & no second hand clothes again! – I’ll let you know when mine tell me! lol

Chookas! ♥

“Second Hand Rose” ♪ How I hated that song!
My sister sang it to me all day long!
New clothes were always bought for her
Smugly she’d show me parading to stir
But I being younger was dressed for free
nothing but her hand me downs for me
I hated how they smelt were stretched and faded
Oh how I coveted new things with eyes jaded

Then one day I came to realize
that in my hand me downs I was actually stylized
Faded and torn was all the rage
Op shops and hand me downs and things badly aged
so I then paraded in my second hand clothes
and my sister in her brand new coveted my rose!
:O)

    So very true; I have a friend who has two little girls who will only wear hand me downs; but they still always look smart; and so sweet they always look too;

    This is an age old situation in families and good to see “Cinders” rivalling the older sister with her ingenuity. Well done!
