The following little ditty was presented as my offering to my writing class on the assignment we were given to write about throwing things away. I couldn't resist waxing poetic.
I rummaged in my bureau drawer
which always is a mess
I threw away my old brasiers
With pleasure, I confess.
Old socks went too and handkerchiefs
and pairs of underwear
Pajamas, scarves, belts and such
All hiding from me there.
I didn't waste a lot of time
there still was much to do.
I went into the closet
And found an unmatched shoe;
That was just the start of things
I now was in full swing
Old lipstick, powder and perfume
I threw out everything.
I could go on and on of course
I threw out lots of stuff
My husband said with great dismay
"I think you've done enough."
It sounded like an order
There was nothing I could say
Except to mutter to myself
"There'll be another day."
I apologize for an occasional spelling error in my blogs. I notice that I spelled "flour" as "flower" in my last blog. Sometimes I get carried away and don't even notice an error when I read my blog over. But keep in touch and thanks for your comments.

No need to apologize, your writing are so fun to read that I also did not notice the misspell. That and I rely on spell check to guide my errors. : )
