The Spice Up Your Life Market

The Spice Up Your Life Market is quite well hidden
no need to follow the arrow if you just listen
and follow the Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme tune
the proprietors favorite song that fills his market room

The irony is most folks want to go to this market to improve their love lives
and are flabbergasted when they step into a room full of spice
a sign above the door saying "we're spicy but not pricey!"
the customer feigns interest and purchases cinnamon and nutmeg wisely

The proprietor know's this goes on all the time
thank's to his misleading double entendre sign
the wife or girlfriend expecting a sexy gift they can wear in bed
instead they smell like the spices after baking many pies and breads

Loved it Cheryl, reminded me when I was in Turkey last year, we went to the market and I've never seen so many varieties of spice. Tom
