At the Pawn Shop

Standing outside the dingy building peering through the dusty glass I see something that is glittering looking closely a lamp of brass I enter into the pawn shop It is a lovely snowdrop lamp made of brass a fancy prop it even has a maker's stamp How much I ask the wizen man we haggle and barter over the price he tells me its come from Japan when I pay him he thanks me twice contest: At The Pawn Shop written 06/13/2013
