We looked inside my drawers And found nothing but dust bunnies No leftover lifesavers, no comb No pictures of naked monkeys I thought I saw a pin Tucked into the corner in the back But it was just a trick of light Nothing more than a tack Such sadness here on leaving To move on in life’s career Will memories survive As I retreat from here? Excitement at the new A challenge I portend One job is beginning Another is at an end. |

I hope the "new" is interesting and fulfilling. What you write leaves me feeling enigmatic and wondering what you are thinking. I do wish you the best! Hugs, Karen |

you thought I would come in here with some prurient comment didn't you? how about just a and break a leg... moving sucks so that you don't have time to feel melancholy about it... |

As one drawer closes another one opens, that’s a little different to what normally happens to me – generally one drawer closing is shortly followed by another slamming shut on my fingers. I hope you have better luck and thanks for chance to read, I really enjoyed it. |

Oh, my... I think I'd rather burn my desk than try to clean it out. LOL... But then... it's the dumping ground for all my boss's junk as well as mine... I rarely dig for fear of mouse traps. *G* I enjoyed this, PDV... congratulations on the promotion! *S* |

"We looked inside my drawers And found nothing but dust bunnies No leftover lifesavers, no comb No pictures of naked monkeys" Pictures of naked monkeys? Is that something that is common to have in your drawer? Better get me some of those In fact I would like to have wallpaper with naked monkeys Much enjoyed the read, particularly the beginning. Love "How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! |
