When I worked as a manager
of a self storage facility
I always wondered why people kept things
that they no longer had room for
and will probably never use again
so why pay the fee?

Basically junk.

I guess I travel light these days.

I came to a revelation today
when you said "I don't want to throw it away"

all these years of junk we've been storing
and I just don't see the need for it

so hold on to whatever you want
I'm abandoning the property
and you can keep paying the fee.

These are wise reflections, dear Dixie!

It is significant and needs imitation!

your truthful words and interesting poetical success again has made it. i think poems are nothing but the dailly diary's personal pages formatted for the public views.

clever talks delay friendship!

I think people are always scared to throw things away they think (you'll never know when you might need it!) possessions= experience & experience= lives. That's what I think people don't want to throw away. Enjoyed this!

Now I have a problem, you see I like this & therein lies the problem.....do I keep it or discard it? I can see I'm going to have to give this a lot of thought, You know, I used to be indecisive, now I just can't make up my mind.........
