L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

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.
