Off To Market

PINK SATURDAY

OFF TO MARKET.

I don't want to be a meanie,

But I think a Pink Pig beanie

Is a little overdone,

Though it may be lots of fun!

It has a sideways smirk

That says 'This man's a jerk!'

And he must have lots of hassles

With people pulling tassles.

The model looks quite male

But, quite honestly, I fail

To understand a wig

Masquerading as a pig.

It must be a mass of hair

That he has stuffed in there!

For the part that is Pink Pig

Looks bulbous and quite big!

I'd like to know the history

Of this sartorial mystery.

IN PRINT

The world is full of hobbies. Have you noticed?  Mine is verse!

And I think that we human-beings could do a great deal worse

Than having a fixation, a passion, a desire!

It could be breeding budgerigars or singing in a choir;

Collecting butterflies, maybe, or learning about Crete;

Taking lots of photographs of people in the street!

The list goes on! It's never-ending. We are so diverse.

Some people are into acting and happily rehearse!

I saw the local print-makers had organised a stall

Where they could show their efforts and try to sell them all.

I saw it at the market and I stopped there, passing by

Because the great variety had really caught my eye.

For the fact that we have hobbies we all should give great thanks.

After all if we were 'idle hands' we might start robbing banks!
