Queen Victoria Market

The wonderful market ‘Queen Vic’,
To shop there you must be quick,
140 years old,
Its story still told,
It’s a market that’ll always stick.

It sells lollies, clothing and fruit,
But whatever you buy is a wonderful loot
Hundreds of people, selling and buying
(Though of the quality they may be lying)
Still worthy of a tourists commute.

This versatile store,
With clothes, fruit and much more,
Has a wonderful story,
Though some is gory,
Which learning about is never a bore.
