100 Word Wednesday: 173 – Bought and sold

Bought and sold apples in the stall

Amidst the pandemic there’s a market

Fresh fruit and vegetables from the local farm

Bought some apples that’s a bargain

Bargain because of good harvest

Farmers want their produce to be sold

Potatoes, carrots, brocollis, apples and pears

In some stalls are beef that were rolled

Rolled steak that’s easy to fry

Local wine and cheese, also to die for

Pickled herring and mackerel, don’t forget them

Each stall has something to explore

Explore to our own delights

Salmon, cod, trout, they were all freshly caught

Some new dishes to add to my repertoire

Satisfied with what I have bought*
