Best Garage Poems

The residents will soon be moving.
There is lots of miscellaneous and
still useable items.
Some old growth redwoods 
and fishable seas, some 
breathable air
and unpolluted shores,
bargains galore so
don't hesitate
to make an offer.
All prices are negotiable
and everything must go.
Saturday, from 9-5, please,
no earlies.
Earth, the nearest cross-street
is Milky Way....

As I walk around,

I find:

2 windows flawless with absolutely no bugs, spiders, creatures of any kind

2 hanging blinds perfectly dusted and cleaned

1 red toolbox entirely organized by wrenches, hammers, and screwdrivers

1 blue toolbox with little sliding doors utterly sorted by nuts, bolts, and nails

2 shelves...

With purchase ten bones or more

Up at dawn...
Jackets on...
8am is coming fast...
I must hurry...can't be last.
I checked the ad's...I checked it twice...
I made my list...it took half the night.
I've planned my route...
I have no doubt...it will bring me victory!
I  cleaned the car...made lot's of room,
for all the treasures I'll...

For sale a bunch of fine unused words, many misspelled
Poet can’t uses them; mind is on strike, the pen has been stilled

These words never used for they never quite seemed to fit
Got them online; advertisement said they were a complete poetry kit

Can’t send them back...

I once had some poems to unveil
 So I  decided to have a garage sale
 so I put up a sign
  to all those inclined
  to peruse my poems in  detail

  But rain fell pitta  patter
  and some...

I took my mother to the doctor just the other day.
An odyssey of sorts and an adventure I must say.
We came down from the mountain to the city about nine.
In spite of some construction work we made it there on time.

We entered the garage and...

At a Garage Sale

Wish my golf energy was tough enough
To keep me from ending up in the rough
Each time I am heading for the green
And caught in some trap in between.

Great golf game is what I had in mind,
But when I ended up so far...

I’m having a garage sale
Though I don’t have a garage.
Come check out all my offerings – 
You’ll see a strange montage.

I have similes and metaphors
So old that they’re clichés.
There are sentences and verses
Budding writers can rephrase.

From a stack of nouns quite towering
Are so many you...

If I could sell away some baggage
Tears and fears would be first to list

My hubbies lackadaisacal attitude
My sore joints and perfectionist tendencies

My son's messiness and lack of sage
Clutter and papers need not exist

Inheritance clutter has in'eptitude
Weighing heavy on my thoughts

Reasonable.   Rickrack, ribbons,
Sewing sack spilling
Thread, thimbles. ...

Buy one, get one free!
Waste no time, come and see!

If you are looking for a metaphor
please check the green box at the front door.

Similes are in a stack, take all you want
Hiding under the wizard's hat.

Acrostic words, there are very few
But there are many old...

Yard Sales are the 
Macy’s of Saturday shopping, 
On a budget that fits in my coin purse.
