Crates and cartons line each wall,
With a passage through the center.
Send some men who are lean and small,
Who'll have a chance to enter.

Besides chairs and chests to haul away,
We have items we can't do without--
A winepress we may use some day,
A taxidermied rainbow trout,

Three houses meant for purple martins,
Eight dozen unread magazines,
Electric blenders, still in cartons,
Meant for mixing salad greens,

Assorted this, assorted that,
Boxes and bags of bric-a-brac,
Clothes we wore when we were fat,
Impossible to neatly stack.

So hurry with your biggest van
And take this stuff without delay,
The way I feel, I won't complain
If you lose it all along the way.
