BARGAINS by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: WHAT HAVE YOU IN YOUR BASKET
Last Line: "WHO HAS HALF-AN-HOUR OR MORE TO SPEND."
Subject(s): SLEEP;

"What have you in your basket?"
I questioned Mother Sleep.
"Ah, many a golden casket
Of jewel-dreams I keep
At pastime prices for the friend
Who has half-an-hour or more to spend."
