Juicy Tales and Tidbits
Lying dormant on the desk
objects inanimate
Each with a story it could tell
some quite intimate...
The key that opens the front door
ten thousand times or more
Trusted tool of man and wife
witness to domestic strife
A pen that writes without a hitch
of affairs and fantasies
Should it resort to crude blackmail
O, Lord, the casualties
A paperweight that holds down bills
due some time ago
Pick it up and hear the groans
down in the stack below...
These objects with their poker faces
conceal lean times, dark places
Pick one up, lend an ear
juicy tales and tidbits you may hear
