Dead People's Things

I went to Savers on the other day And what struck me right away Was how many things placed in the store That were obviously from dead people not needed any more There were James Last vinyl record collections of yesteryear And a 50-year wedding anniversary plate held dear So when you shuffle off this mortal coil Your things will become an op shop foil. © Paul Warren Poetry
