The Antique Store

The store was filled to bursting, Every item an "antique," A place to stop and browse If it's nostalgia that you seek. I squeezed myself between the rows Of shelves piled to the ceiling, But absolutely nothing Was the slightest bit appealing. I watched the other customers Yet really, who'd a thunk That so many would be interested In someone else's junk!

I used to collect antiques and restore old telephones. I have a hundred or more gathering dust. I too loved the search, never knew what you'd find. A great write take care. Pete.

Dirt and dust and scratched and marred. I've even seen things sold half charred. What is it that they think they see. When they look at the same things as you and me. :)
