Many, say that I have nothing. Some, feel I have too much. I only know of Suchness and surround myself with such and such. Mood Rings, guitar strings A never ending list of things. A globe, to show Earth's roundness. Maps, to prove it's flat. A pot, in which to heat my beans, or be John Chapman's hat. Headphones, to keep my ears warm on the Dark Side of the Moon. A collection of old and evil McDonalds' coffee spoons. A wonderful Whoopie Cushion, that creates a funny sound, or becomes a handy life raft, so G.I. Joe wont drown. Stacks and stacks of albums. Some, with covers I can find. Most, cut in half and written on to make a Yard Sale sign. But never ever Savoy Brown, they have such great design. Please Don't Eat the Children There's Blood upon the Rock. Extinct Tyrannosaurus Rex, pre-Beatles taking stock. Crawl space 78s, great for shooting skeet. Take your sights off of the Okehs, they make me move my feet. A George Wallace campaign button, back before he was alive. A giant one, that shows the image of all five of Dave Clark 5 An Evel Knevel thermos Yosemite Sam glasses and candle Davy Crockett lunch box Hogan's Heroes, minus handle I love my old View-Master, when electricity can't be used. I know my jumper cables would make Vepco blow a fuse. I've no need to wait for reruns. "Land of the Giants", I never hid. I did not lose my "Moon Landing" the way that NASA did. There's several Lincoln Libraries, to prohibit being dumb. Stan Lee, for true believers and a table full of Crumbs. That nasty Fuller Brush Man taught me how to use my thumb. There's a battery powered Gentle Ben and metal toys from Cracker Jack. A plastic Mr. Peanut Dig 'Em Frog from SUGAR Smacks. My wife still has her Mrs. Beasley. Time misplaced Howdy's bandana. I hope my future wife holds on to her Hannah Montana. Very little goes away. I'm surprised there's room for kids and spouse. Millions of Legos, for the day that the kids can build a house. I guess it all just goes to show that I'm a sentimental sap. My cluttered life serves to help you know how much I'm full of crap. *** [This message has been edited by XOx Uriah xOX (08-07-2009 06:50 AM).] |

This is funny, Larry. Not everyone agrees on what "things" are important. I have a large sea shell that I've had since I was 6 years old. I'm sure it wouldn't be very useful to some but I am rather attached to it for sentimental reasons. Ida |
