RED, WHITE, AND BLUE!

I was strolling along in town one day when this Junk Shop caught my eye.

Now I was only idling, dreaming as I passed by.

I was thinking of writing a poem about Red, White and Blue;

( When a Meme suggests it, that is what must I do.)

'I must avoid the Union Jack!' was going through my mind

Followed by 'What alternative am I possibly going to find?'

Being a Brit, 'Red, White and Blue' had me standing to attention,

But then it seemed too obvious to even rate a mention.

When suddenly a window seemed to flash across my gaze!

And it filled the said criteria in really perfect ways!

Now, when the owner made a plan to change her window theme,

What made her think of this decor, this blended colour-scheme?

And what made me walk down that street? It's not my usual route!

And what made me glance at her window, so crammed with pre-loved loot?

I'm really not superstitious! I prefer reality.

But this was a great example of SERENDIPITY!
