It was the last Sunday of Rocktober
that we brought our wares out for sale.
The air was crisp,
so we thought people would be out
– and they were!
But not as many people as we hoped.

Herb brought items with magical properties.
Barry brought household items including clothes
and some electronics.
I brought the leavings of a guy who had left town
and asked me to take care of his goods.
I also had comics and records
that I just wanted to have good homes.

We laid our stuff out on a table
and let the selling begin.
We didn’t get as many people walking by
as we could have.

It was a really nice day, with great sun,
but it seems most of the walking was done
for the season
A lot of people seemed to be happy
to take records off my hands.
They should. I was selling them for songs.
The comics were cheap, too.

I knew I could get better prices,
but I wanted people to be happy
and I didn’t want to have to take them back.

We did end up having to carry a bunch of stuff back
to our respective homes.
Just as I’d delivered everyone there in my car,
I brought everyone back.
Because I was the medium of transportation,
Barry and Herb covered the expenses of the day,
so it worked out well for me.

All in all, the last Sunday of Rocktober rocked.
