\"\"<\/p>\n

One day at a weapons shop I met a man selling bricks<\/p>\n

For money he offered some swords<\/p>\n

But I really wanted some figs<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like others he thought I was odd,<\/p>\n

But before the weapon shop I could leave<\/p>\n

He said “I can help you I believe”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bricks, Figs, you shall find<\/p>\n

Swords, Rings you can get<\/p>\n

You must now open your mind<\/p>\n

And get down to St. Thor’s Market<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There were stalls selling rings<\/p>\n

Gems in many shades<\/p>\n

There were even stalls selling wings<\/p>\n

People here and there of different trades<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before I could open my mouth<\/p>\n

I was greeted by a peculiar lady,<\/p>\n

She shouted “For you I have Figs”<\/p>\n

I couldn’t help thinking she might be quite shady.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“But how did you know?” I asked,<\/p>\n

“Do you want them or not?” she did say.<\/p>\n

Silently, the figs she passed.<\/p>\n

Then vanished before I could pay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
