Another London hotspot: market in full swing at the weekend

To Portobello, the crowds always flock,

To browse every trinket and clock.

Is it silver so rare,

Or junk from a fair?

Your wallet is in for a shock.


Old Admiral Vernon would stare,

At the market that bears his name there.

He took Portobello,

A brave, salty fellow,

Now it’s full of "antiques" and hot air.


You squeeze past a stall and a cart,

To find a rare piece of folk art.

A fake or a treasure?

It’s hard to quite measure,

As you and your savings soon part.
