A Holiday Fair
I went to a holiday fair.
Many craftsmen and shoppers were there.
All the goods on display
Were well-worth what you’d pay
If you had extra money to spare.
Yet not one little thing did I buy
And in case you were wondering why,
It’s that all of my stuff
Seems to be quite enough
So I look and walk on, with a sigh.
I would purchase a lot in my youth,
Checking out every kiosk or booth,
But that hunger is gone;
I will pass the baton
To each tourist or craft-seeing sleuth.
