Materialism Poems - Poems about Materialism

RAGS You have rags Of rags Some bragging rags... Must be your rag, Because you have rags With nothing in them Except a bifurcate rag; You have enough rags for life, For a billion stars in the sky__ If there was a total number of lug rags You would tote have it In the rag, I wonder why you hoard so many rags When all you ever put...
