There’s something about the old Vancouver Flea MARKET,
makes some of us feel at HOME.
Today’s life style, for awhile, one can ‘PARK IT’.
There’s none of that corporate marketing to make us GROAN.
The vendors are real people, from all walks of life UNFURLED.
Many of the ‘old timers’ have seen it ALL.
Growing up from all over THE WORLD.
Their eyes, oh my, what many must RECALL.
There are old B.C. postcards, so many relics of the PAST,
clothes, musical instruments, practically everything under THE SUN.
For the bargain seeking browsers, it’s one heck of a BLAST.
Instead of the big malls, the reality and humanity are so much FUN.
Even the red barn itself speaks of HISTORY,
a Boeing factory, during the 2nd WORLD WAR.
For those of us who remember and cherish the old B.C., it’s no MYSTERY
why the atmosphere helps those days to RESTORE
