Setting up at gray of dawn:
Tables, chairs, and junk,
Clothing, household goods, and such,
Things from grandma’s trunk.
Shoppers early start to come.
“My trash is your treasure.
Take a sack and fill it up.
Coffee? What’s your pleasure?”
When the bargain day is done,
Pack up, clean up, have some fun.
