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.
