ROSES LITTLE STORE
When you come to Cobalt you have to visit Rose’s store,
Browse around slowly there’ll be something you’ll adore,
Many things to choose from showing taste and talent too,
Although it is only small it takes awhile to go through.
Then see her work on pretty lamps or a fancy sign,
See wooden flowers and cute duckies so fine,
Unusual gifts that would bring pleasure to a friend
Or family member, and on their joy you can depend.
China cats and other things in flowers of blue and white
A collection of these as gifts would be a great sight,
A supply of delicate hand creams and bath bubble too,
If you are stuck for a gift these easily can come to you.
Dancing eyes and a pretty smile will brighten up your day,
Even if no purchases will come after the end of your stay,
There are too many things to mention so come look around,
A better treasure trove of beauty for me could not be found.
A gift for a sick child that will bring much laughter and joy,
There are even gifts that would please a difficult small boy.
Wooden signs you can choose for her to make just for you,
So come and spend some time even just to wander through.
