S is for Sword

S if for Sword

The Fair!! A child’s mind is captured by lights, toys, games, or anything that is new or unusual. Women wander off to the jewelry and handmade booths where things sparkle or speak of worlds far away.

Men?  Oh, men.

This booth is the largest in the fair.  Four sided and each table loaded with weaponry for sale.  This is where men revel in their manhood, in a time when men were warriors and flashed their swords, swung the mace, fondled weapons, and held up shields in the sun.  This is where my husband will be.

Note the dagger/Arabian Night shape

This one has good balance…the edge is sharp…good heft…and then practice swings and jabs follow up.

If one goes to a Fair with a male, drop him off at this booth and wander off to a booth of one’s choice, where the jewels flash and scarfs swing. 


Yes, it says "Custer's Last Stand" on the blade. I don't understand it either.
