Carboot

Whether selling or buying
It's freezing so cold
Promise of warmth beckons
But finger tips & toes gone

Sitting here, like an item on a shelf
Waiting to be noticed and bought
Zoo time is here
Passers go slowly by, maybe linger

Some stop a little longer
An item chose, an offer made
Barter or not agreement made
Exchange money with bag

Money made to cover admission
Decided now and made the decision
With fingers and toes still cold
I'm never doing another again!
