Some folks have ’em
some folks don’t!
I’m amongst the chosen few
some folks don’t!
I’m amongst the chosen few
One might say
we all are witnesses
to the capture of piles of stuff
and not all are bad, you see
Haystacks in a summer scene
bode winter food
for cows and horses and their needs
Stacks of money
aren’t that bad
especially if the money’s yours!
The stacks at libraries
speak treasures of words
inked for posterity, valued
treasured, for memories
and researchers looking
Warehouse stacks
forklifts working
move ’em in and out
sorting what goes where
always moving
forklifts working
move ’em in and out
sorting what goes where
always moving
Stacks of laundry
stacks of papers
stacks of magazines and more
piles on desks and chairs, oh my!
Now we’re sinking down
End of day
a cleaned off desk
is a mighty precious thing
Going home
all in order
the bare desk calls out loudly
Free!
