The Bargain Seeker
I love to go to garage sales.
There is bargains galore.
I think it is much more fun
Than going to the store.
The one thing that bothers me,
And is a pet peeve of mine,
Is trying to read that address
At the bottom of the sign.
Maybe I’m just getting old,
But it looks like to me
They could write that address
Big enough to see.
Then it’s very frustrating
Because when I find the place,
That yard sale was last week
And is now gone without a trace.
If they go to all the trouble
To nail signs all over town
Then once the sale is over,
You should take the signs down.
It’s tantamount to littering,
And if the city had the time,
They could collect the sale signs
And legally assess a fine.
