I'm not having my cake and eating it!

I'd like to shop until I drop.

But not much chance of that!

Although I could probably do that in a pawn shop?

But the thought of that, makes my mood flat.

So instead of stocking up on clothes and shoes.

I'm going to have to fill up on a latte instead.

I must admit, I feel a little bruised; I need cake. 

But financially I may only be able to afford jam and bread.

Life without cake and coffee is no life at all.

And pretty soon, I'm going to bawl.
