Baubles
Trinkets
Dusty furniture
Old, rusty tools
Sweaty people in
mismatched clothing
mismatched clothing
Bargain-hunting geezers
seeking treasure,
pawing through boxes
seeking treasure,
pawing through boxes
Pseudo-antiques flaunted
as true collectibles to
unsuspecting throngs
of unlearned passers-by
I could see myself here. I collect McCoy pottery and have found some awesome treasures at flea markets. :-) Great stuff!!
ReplyDeleteWhy are you in my garage?
ReplyDeletenice...how fun to find treasure in other peoples junk though...
ReplyDeleteYou've got it right, although I admit to loving the flea market. I may have even been known to wear mismatched clothing, at times. I am also a geezer, of sorts, being almost 50!
ReplyDeleteLove the poem!
Still, we can't help but love it, huh?
