Old grannies fighting for the best
Husbands putting fish to the freshness test
An assortment of bugs perched on the produce
Stubborn aunts asking for a price reduce!
Dogs with their tongue out, wanting a treat
The butcher throws a piece of red juicy meat!
A greenish-white stinky liquid lands on a family
The very bulky mother screams ‘Aiyooo!’ shrilly!
A cow roams around the stalls bringing with it some fleas
Kids run around throwing masalas, dirt and fresh peas
A man spits paan, litters the hedge
A smart pigeon flying above poops on him, as a part of revenge!
Indian bazaars are filled with excitement and fun
When I visit the market, I always enjoy it a ton!
