Salamanca Market
A watery, mid-autumn sun above,
A slight southerly breeze rippling leaves,
Throngs of people crowd Salamanca,
Hobart’s premier market, to perceive
Hundreds of stalls, waiting in the street
For the tourists and locals alike,
The perfect place to spend Saturday
On “Bluey”, my mobility trike.
Joy bought me a hat to shade my eyes
From the sun reflecting on my glasses,
Now I could see the wonderful stalls,
everyone and everything that passes.
I was at the perfect height to view
Assorted tummies, bums and wares,
Weaving among the crowd of people,
Enjoying all that was on offer there.
