Farmer's Market

Deep dark clouds drift through my day Threatening rain showers typical of May, On the horizon I see sunshine coming my way Certainly, I hope so, for this coming Saturday. For it’s opening day at the Farmer’s Market I’ll drive my car there, have someone park it, I’ll shop ‘til I drop with nothing on my docket Then stupidly pay too much at the supermarket.

Gershon, you're a nicer fellow to yourself than I am to myself. When I discover I passed up a good deal at the Farmer's Market only to pay more at the supermarket, I feel pretty stupid! Thanks.

Actually I was dreaming, Tom. I love the Saturday Farmer's Market, but this Saturday I'll be recovering from surgery in the hospital. I'm sure I'll be fine!
