Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ KLKL GMGN OPOP QRQR DJDJ SBSB TUVU WW| One day at a food shop | A |
| I met a man selling marbles | B |
| For money he wanted to swap | A |
| But I really wanted some barbels | B |
| - | |
| Got any barbels asked I | C |
| For that's how I'll spend my money | D |
| No barbels here said the guy | C |
| He seemed to find it quite funny | D |
| - | |
| We've got some lovely bricks | E |
| I'll give you a very fine price | F |
| I'd rather have some knicks | E |
| The man blinked rapidly thrice | F |
| - | |
| The man seemed exceptionally kind | G |
| And his manner was strangely amused | H |
| He wasn't what I would call lined | G |
| Great disdain he noticeably oozed | H |
| - | |
| Like others he thought I was odd | I |
| Some say I'm a bit tall | J |
| Still he gave me a courteous nod | I |
| As if he thought I was plenty oddball | J |
| - | |
| So in search of my goal I departed | K |
| But before the food shop could I leave | L |
| The man came running full hearted | K |
| I can help you I believe | L |
| - | |
| Marbles barbels you shall find | G |
| Bricks knicks you can get | M |
| You must now open your mind | G |
| And get down to k Mart Market | N |
| - | |
| So to k Mart Market I decided to go | O |
| In search of the barbels I craved | P |
| The winds it did eerily blow | O |
| But I felt that the day could be saved | P |
| - | |
| There were stalls selling rings | Q |
| Pasties in many shades | R |
| There were even stalls selling flings | Q |
| People were scattered from many trades | R |
| - | |
| I was greeted by a peculiar lady | D |
| She seemed to be rather tall | J |
| I couldn't help thinking she might be quite shady | D |
| I wondered if she was at all oddball | J |
| - | |
| Before I could open my mouth | S |
| She shouted For you I have some barbels | B |
| I headed towards her to the south | S |
| Past some bricks and marbles | B |
| - | |
| But how did you know I asked | T |
| Do you want them or not she did say | U |
| Silently the barbels she passed | V |
| Then vanished before I could pay | U |
| - | |
| As I walked away I hard a crackle | W |
| Or was it perhaps a hushed cackle | W |
