The Purse

Sometimes people ask me... What's in your purse... So I tell them the best that I can... Lipstick, chapstick, matchstick What’s in your purse? Billfold, change purse, money counter, and clip? Aspirin, Tylenol, Tums, coupons and stamps… Tissue, pressure bandage, Mom excuse tablet! What’s in your purse? House keys, car keys, skate keys and a toothbrush. Toothpick, dental floss, yesterday’s movie ticket. Magnifying glass, insect book, handy magic cards? What’s in your purse? Personal stuff, extra stuff, and just stuff. Needed stuff, wanted stuff list… And all the stuff I meant to take out. What’s in your purse? Crayons, a pen, a magic marker, and chalk. Hodgepodge, glue stick, and tape… A clown an elf and two small mice. What’s in your purse? Bird Seed, fish food, and a safety pin. A feather from a goose, an empty candy wrapper. A small notebook with and without lines. What’s in your purse? Gum, a straw and an eyedropper. A paperclip that floats like a boat, And a folding flying airplane. What’s in your purse? Flashlight, book light, nightlight. NASA blanket and plastic rain suit. Hairnet and socks that match. What’s in your purse? Paintbrush, hairbrush, dog brush. Playdough, finger puppets and jelly packets. A flashlight, a monocle, and a bingo dabber. What’s in your purse? A calendar, a phone, and things that I have to have. Pictures of those I love. And a little cross… What’s in your purse? Jesus!
