Promotional Bags and Gifts in Poetry

I’m off with my friend to a local Home Show

Whether we’ll buy something I really don’t know

One thing’s for certain we’ll get a Promotional Bag

Stuffed full of goodies making it sag

Once through the door we look for the stall

That gives away bags to hold our haul

Quickly we’re armed with the re-usable bag

Now we can wander collecting our swag

A pen from a lady selling fabrics for curtains

Nice one for lounge but not quite certain

But I’m armed with a sample to show to my Ben

I’ve got all her details clear there on my pen

We each get a keyring from a nice girl called Claire

She shows us her new range of relaxing arm chair

It can lift up your feet and lean back your head

We give it a try it’s just like being in bed

She gives us brochures which go in our bags

We notice a stall with nice rugs made of rags

Always keen to re-cycle we must take a look

Told they are made with old clothes and a hook

Given a pencil which we thought was quite good

With their details for contact on sustainable wood

The next gift we’re given is always my favourite of all

A promotional mug from a new cookware stall

My friend buys a cake tin from their expansive display

That along with her mug is packed safely away

We gather more gifts as we wander the around

Badges and stickers and bookmarks we’ve found

Our promotional bags are full to the brim

Time for home says my friend Kim

Over a cuppa I sift through my haul

Badges and stickers for Grandson Paul

A pen and leaflet for my lovely son Arthur

All the details of the kitchen he’s after

Just like to say to the businesses out there

Thank you for taking the trouble to spare

All these lovely gifts for me to share out

I’m sure to remember you without a doubt.
