Pocket Stuff

I often fill my pockets up 
With all sorts of stuff 
From breath mints to deodorant 
When there's a need to freshen up 

Along with a dime or two 
For those important calls 
When I need directions 
For the times that I am lost 

My favorite flavor of chewing gum 
Double the pleasure, Double Mint 
Which most times slides from the wrapper 
Where I just kindly brush the lint 

Undoubtedly as always 
There's a few string clingers on 
Which in wisdom I save for later 
For that urgent urge to floss

One or two pet rocks 
That along the road I found 
I just put this part in 
To give you something to think about 

I sometimes put my hands in my pockets
Though there's barely any room 
Still a hand sometimes need a rest 
If it's got nothing to do 

It's little wonder I fill them up 
With all sorts of stuff  
Cause don't cha know when it comes to stuff
You can never have enough
