Drawing on this week's prompts as well as our recent thread on the proliferation of poor grammar ...
BUY-SWAP-SELL

Our region has a Facebook page - they call it BUY-SWAP-SELL -
with 20,000 members now, it isn't hard to tell
how much its popularity has grown, for this is where
it's easy to engage in trade - and never leave your chair!
Forget about the Op Shop! There are bargain clothes galore -
just scroll the mouse and click to find what you've been looking for.
There's pink and punk and retro - any style you care to choose!
Type SOLD and you will soon be walking in another's shoes!
This throw-away society gets rid of stuff so fast;
it isn't like in grandma's day, when things were built to last!
It's easy to discard the old for new, you must agree -
just write a story, snap a pic - and post for all to see!
But sad to say, their sense of spelling sometimes lets them down -
there's chests of draws aplenty, and a once-warn wedding gown.
There's LPs and cassettes - reel good; and carpet for the stare;
and paperbacks of yesterday (the covers have some ware)!
It's going cheep (like chickens), so you'd best be on the ball.
But is it trash or treasure? Do you need this stuff at all?
No doubt we could debate all day - but now I have to dash
and view the latest postings .... 'cos they might take less for cash!!
