This is a writing promt. Everything is true except the mug. Grandma is from France. She did collect things. Just not this one. |
Garage sales
Walking around
Looking at the old
The used
The new to someone else
As a child, my Mom would
have me be the one to sit
Waiting for the elusive buyer
Who just had to have that one
Junk to me but whatever
It got me out
of cleaning something or other
I went to so many of these
Now, I don't go near them
Been there done that
Oh, I know what ya mean
Old .. used ... throw away
That is my motto now
Give it to the Goodwill or recycle
If you haven't used it in a long time
It's time to go
Unless it has lots of memories
Which this pencil holder does
Not to me but to my Grandmother
Who got it while traveling
She loved getting a cup or paperweight
To state the visit she had
This one was from before she came
here via France & Canada
My Grandma
who ends up was a savvy saver
So, no I won't throw this away
but I still think there's too many pencils
Might have to thin those out
a bit ...
