TODAY'S PROMPT

Your prompt for Tuesday, December 28th:
 

 

"Here, wedged in the crowds, and the vendors,
Damp faces, and bonnets awry;
Here are bulwarks of kettles and fenders,
And lemons and oranges gleaming on high,
Sour to the sucking, but fair to the eye.
In a world full of wonders and splendours
It is sweet to shop under the sky!
So come, buy your hat for a penny;
Here are marvellous bargains for you;
For this is the mart of the many
And not of the few."

~Jean Guthrie-Smith, "Street Market"
