Upside Down Tags

You’re looking at some jewelry
In the shop of a museum –
The price tags all face upside down
So nobody can see ‘em.

This happens, too, in any store
Where jewelry’s on display.
You’d think they’d make it obvious
How much you’d have to pay.

But maybe in some business school
Where retail sellers go,
They learn to turn the price tags
So the prices never show.

I find it most annoying
And perhaps this strikes a chord;
But worse is finding out it costs
More than I can afford!
