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.
