My husband, the darling
has only one fault…
He just can’t seem
to throw anything out.
They’re historical items
and someday worth money.
He says that includes me
his wife and his honey.
He’s kept many things
that he holds so dear
Old motors, old keys and
never used fishing gear.
Stashed things in attics,
pushed them under our bed.
Saved many jeans, in case
some pounds are shed.
All these, he thinks he’ll
have use for someday.
But a lot will be tossed
if his wife gets her way.
The hardest thing that
he ever has said, is –
“Honey, don’t store it
just chuck it instead.”
