\u00a0<\/p>\n
I tried to pull away to no avail.<\/p>\n
She had me in a corner.<\/p>\n
I knew it, and so did she.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
She saw me hesitate.<\/p>\n
She saw me try desperately to pull away.<\/p>\n
I looked for an escape route; I found none.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her friendliness was my undoing.<\/p>\n
With each smile, she drew me in.<\/p>\n
Her understanding anecdotes snared me.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hoped she wasn’t the one at the cashier’s desk.<\/p>\n
I wanted to sneak out of the shop without buying anything.<\/p>\n
I was out of luck for she was the one at the checkout counter.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
She zeroed in on each hesitation I had.<\/p>\n
She pulled them out by the roots.<\/p>\n
She had me fair and square.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh! Silly me.<\/p>\n
Why did I buy what I didn’t need?<\/p>\n
Next time I will be less gullible.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I will eat before going window shopping!<\/p>\n
