Flea Market

The marvelous flea market
Vendors selling ripe tomatoes
Little Jesus statuette
Bins full of old cloths

Vats of salty boiled peanuts
Sticks of roasted corn on the cob
Place to get your haircut
Mingle with the shopping mob

Shopper’s look for a bargain
Old shoes, books or a nick nack
Was that rug really bearskin?
I can’t wait to come back!
