Three Strikes And We’re Out In Indiana

Photograph of our beautiful booth yesterday at the show
.
We have struck out three times now, with this Indiana show;
The first one, we did half what we expected, but thought, with time we’d grow!
So we came back for the second one, and did only two hundred bucks;
But supposedly, August is its worst month, September, we’d have more luck!
.
Hence, we returned there for another, thinking “third time is the charm”;
But it seemed like most of the people, were visiting from farms!
It’s impossible to sell a work of art, to people with manure upon their shoes;
We sat there for nine plus hours, as our disappointment steady grew!
.
The only thing that saved us, were three items that I found;
One hour before the show opened, I walked the shopping grounds!
This trio was ripe and ready, for a knowledgeable picker such as me;
I’m sure we’ll make a thousand, and finally have some glee!
.
Of course, we ended up selling nothing, thinking we’d do a grand;
Two hundred dollars and lots of labor, we finally understand!
We’ll go back there in October, but just to pick the show;
Ten dollars is all it’s going to cost us, this time when we go!
