At A Craft Fair

At a craft fair, people’s projects

Proudly are displayed,

So would-be customers can stop

To see what they have made.

 

From jewelry to knitted hats,

To paintings, quilts and soaps,

The crafters eye each passerby;

A stop will raise their hopes.

 

I feel a little bad if I

Slip by with just a glance

And sense that if I do so,

I’ll receive some looks askance.

 

Yet if I show some interest

They’re prepared to make a sale

And if that doesn’t happen,

Disappointment will prevail.

 

I like to go to craft fairs

Though I often wonder why,

For I leave there feeling guilty

If there’s nothing I must buy.
