Garage Sale

I once had some poems to unveil
 So I  decided to have a garage sale
 so I put up a sign
  to all those inclined
  to peruse my poems in  detail

  But rain fell pitta  patter
  and some people  did scatter
   to shelter from the rain
     but many remained to purchase dizains
      and sonnets were served on a platter

 When the weather had cleared
  several  people came there
    to buy my acrostics and rhymes
   with Mcwhirtles on sale for a dime
     while Rispettos  were sold by the pair
