A GHETTO CATCH, by LELAND DAVIS First Line: In forsyth street the peddlers sell you peaches for a Last Line: In forsyth street where peddlers sell you peaches for a penny! Subject(s): Ghettos; Markets; Supermarkets | |||
In Forsyth Street the peddlers sell you peaches for a penny. They're big and rich and ripe and cheap; but cheaper far than any Is Beauty! Oh! it's cheap as cheap, it takes a glance to buy it! -- And if you doubt it come with me to Forsyth Street and try it! Oh, come, come and try it! It's cheaper there than any -- In Forsyth Street where peddlers sell you peaches for a penny! Then let us stand by Litowicz who hawks a miscellany Of cheapest wares, of plums and pears and peaches for a penny! For there the Jewish maidens go to spend their money gaily; And Judah goes at noon, she does, and Judah goes there daily. Oh, Judah goes there daily! It's cheaper there than any -- In Forsyth Street where peddlers sell you peaches for a penny! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SUPERMARKET IN TEXAS by MICHAEL BLUMENTHAL THE A & P by MINNIE BRUCE PRATT SELLING SPIEL ON MAXWELL STREET by CARL SANDBURG BLACK IS THE COLOR OF MY TRUE LOVE'S HAIR by REGINALD SHEPHERD TONE PICTURE (MALIPIERO: IMPRESSONI DAL VERO) by JEAN STARR UNTERMEYER A SUPERMARKET IN CALIFORNIA by ALLEN GINSBERG TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 4.
