I wanted it

I used to have a huge appetite for shopping
Would purchase things I rarely or never used
Accumulated a houseful of rare junk
Needless items that fit nowhere and no one
Time-wasting at thrift stores, garage sales and malls
Easy to do
Delighted in this idiocy
I somehow outgrew this habit eventually
Time showed me other things to do; new avenues of delight
