Garage Sell Poetically

If I could sell away some baggage Tears and fears would be first to list My hubbies lackadaisacal attitude My sore joints and perfectionist tendencies My son's messiness and lack of sage Clutter and papers need not exist Inheritance clutter has in'eptitude Weighing heavy on my thoughts For the contest by SKAT 9/6/12

Ah, "Tears and fears" should be the first to go...would leave room to admire the nicer things. One of my sons is a pack rat...I did a yard sale to try and get him to clear up. Didn't really work so well. Good luck with the contest! Love, Mikki

You probably won't get anything for these items. You will even have trouble giving them away. Nice write.
