Garage Salin'

Up in the mornin’ and out the door.
Goin’ garage salin’ some more.

Shop, shop, shop, shop, never stop.
She’ll have me out there until we drop.

Garage Sale

So many things we have collected,
that were important to us back when.
Just no way we could live without these,
treasured gifts from family or friend.

Now stuffed in heaps of ragged boxes,
upon folding tables strewn about.
Seems that our real life and youthful hopes,
have not always followed the same route.

Through the years so many households, 
we have packed

Garage Sale

she never threw anything out 
the driveway is filled 
clothes hang on racks
hers on the left, 
a few of his on the right
tables of her shoes
kitchenware, pots, pans
knickknacks, tchachka’s
souvenirs from long ago trips
some of the furniture
will go..there’s no need 
for all of it now
the most valuable, 
jewelry, some paintings
are in the garage
the money isn’t important

The Haggle-Meister

Would you take a dollar?
No.
Okay. Thanks.
Would you take a fifty-cent piece?
No.
Okay. Thanks.
Would you take a quarter?
No.
Okay. Thanks.

The haggler has no idea how to haggle really, the 
vendor thinks, not realizing she gets more things for
a dollar, a fifty cent piece and a quarter than anyone
else in the world.

The buyer leaves with her dollar intact.
There is

Never a Girly Girl

I was never a girly-girl.
I am not a sorting, throwing away, cleaning girl.
I am definitely not a wash-the-dishes or wash-the-clothes girl.

I am more of a fill-up-your-spaces with junk girl.
Buckets of junk, baskets of junk, junk to 
Put junk in, junk to sit on top of other junk.

I love thrift stores, garage sales, and flea markets.

Old worn things
sprawled in heaps of disarray
Lamps and Chippendale chairs,
faded boudoir cabinets,
forgotten wedding gift kitchen wares
Clothes fashioned in yesteryears,
teacups full of evaporated tears
Nostalgic tears of joy,
tears of sadness
Items bearing times of hardship,
some marked with easy living felt tips

barter away the past
Selling off old memories,
wistful times that didn't last
Old well-kept things

Up at dawn...
Jackets on...
8am is coming fast...
I must hurry...can't be last.

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 behind
Thought came to me I was about to croak

A Poet's Garage Sale

There’s quite a sale in my garage,
A poet’s plethoran montage
Of metaphors and similes
And verses guaranteed to please.

A nest of nouns, a vat of verbs;
Some quotes quite perfect for your blurbs.
A carton filled with stale clichés,
Which budding writers can rephrase.

I’ve baskets filled with parts of speech
Left from the days I used to teach.
So many sentences to

A Poet's Garage Sale

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 can choose;
Mix and match with all my adjectives – 
You
