At the Market

At the market, walk the aisles,
Search for things you need.
Naturally, you'll buy some things you don't -
That's guaranteed.

Store employees offer samples -
Come and have a taste!
Even if the stuff looks gross,
It will not go to waste.

For everybody strolling by
Will go for something free;
Add a coupon and, whoo hoo!
You're thrilled as you can be.

Get in line, unload your cart
And watch each item scan;
Pay with credit, then proceed
To load your mini-van.

Shopping in America
Is both a chore and treat.
A lot of effort we expend
So we have what to eat.

  1. Do you have any farmers markets near you? I've been loving the one here - it's on Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Pretty soon tho' it'll be gone for the winter!
