A Public Market

A public market lures you in

With local food and drink.

From farms to people it provides

A most delicious link.


The booths are filled with produce,

Meats and dairy (lots of cheese!)

And often freshly-captured seafood,

All arranged to please.


Of course, there will be ethnic food, 

Enticing with its spices 

And sandwiches and pizzas

Offered at amazing prices.


My favorites are the baked goods -

Cupcakes, cookies, cakes and pies 

And the home-made candies, ‘specially 

The chocolates (no surprise).


There may be hats and t-shirts

Advertising local pride,

For a public market’s sure to leave

Us all quite satisfied.
