A Holiday Fair

I went to a holiday fair. Many craftsmen and shoppers were there. All the goods on display Were well-worth what you’d pay If you had extra money to spare. Yet not one little thing did I buy And in case you were wondering why, It’s that all of my stuff Seems to be quite enough So I look and walk on, with a sigh. I would purchase a lot in my youth, Checking out every kiosk or booth, But that hunger is gone; I will pass the baton To each tourist or craft-seeing sleuth.

The next generation caught on. My children have not set up their homes with monstrosity breakfront/china closets. I’d wish to get rid of mine. Who affords silver show pieces. Corelle is nice but not for showing.

You are exactly right. I have reached that age. NO more collecting stuff. Who appreciated it anyway. My family couldn't care less about all the pretty things I have collected. It will mostly get trashed when I die. Sad to think of!
