Boxes
Black box is an orange recorder.
Filing box keeps things in order.
Jewerly box has rings and things.
Play box is filled with toys.
Playful fun for girls and boys.
Old locked box full of matches.
Shelf in dresser, some watches.
Cedar chest is full of albums.
Cardboard boxes full of bums;
Living free, waiting for some
Booze or food. Change stranger
Puts in crude palm, calming
Hunger pains. In rain, little
Shelter. Helter and skelter.
Boxes are taped and shipped.
Inside is for business or gift.
Moving boxes pack all you need.
Bagboy loads groceries to feed.
Boxes, boxes. Big and small.
Yes! Yes! We need them all.
