What Would I Miss

On the local radio today 11-2-17 they are asking what inanimate object would you miss.  If someone called at your door to say they would take it away.  That set me thinking!

What would I miss?

Of course they would not be allowed.
To remove anything of mine!
As I’m married, and all belongs.
To that wife of mine.

So sorry, there is nothing you can take.
As nothing is really mine!
Apart from this paper and pen!
And taking that will be fine.

As all in the world might thank you.
If no more I do write my prose.
So take this pen and paper.
And the curse that with it goes!

As now, you might be the person.
That the writing bug does on impose.
And you will be writing day and night.
And me, well perhaps I will sleep alright.
Not in the day, but every blinking night.

Good one Stanley. Love the line about everything belonging to your wife. Sounds like you learned the lesson of non-attachment.
