Charity
Calendars and note cards,
Labels by the score,
Memo pads and bookmarks,
Wrapping paper, sometimes more.
Every single charity
Reaches out to see
If any of their offers
Unlocks generosity.
For some I get the checkbook
(Yes, old-fashioned, but it works)
And send in a donation
To offset those little perks.
But after I am dead and gone,
My family, bereft,
Will be shocked at just how many
Address labels I have left.
