All Around Round Top

by David Knape
All around Round Top
sit appealingly
shops and barns selling
so many antiques

where do they come from
all these antiquities?
somewhere there must be
a junk factory

producing by the thousands
all these which then tease
those gullible tourists
whose pockets get greased

the plan is so simple
all dealers agree
all junk becomes treasure
eventually!

Poet's Note:
*Went through Round Top Sunday on way to LaGrange. Could not believe all the Antique Shops. That's a beautiful drive. Love those little towns and the narrow highway
