The Farmer's Market

The merchants rise In the early morn Preparing their wares Then setting prices The people enter Looks around them Selecting their choices Before their purchases Snack bar refreshments To refresh themselves Then begin again For lots of bargins Tired merchant Soon ready to pack Anxious to be home To count their cash

Hi Darlene! I can picture this market so easily. I used to sell my art at a Farmers Market. My only suggestion, which I hope you don't mind is: change the word "merchandise" to "merchants". Then it will make more sense.

Thank you Carole I will change the word. My husband sold chocolates at the farmer's market. We did Christmas, and Easter. Our chocolates always sold out.Did you do well selling your art work? Have a nice day my friend.
