COLLECTIONS Oh the endless possibilities,all that is or will become within our sight to be touched smelt or felt Personal memorabilia builds into more than recollections ,from buds to blossoming into full blown obsessions Numismatic fancy word for adding another to the pot,dates or weights all pitching towards the wealth Postcards from yonder,seashells to make us wonder,each time feeling more & more obliged to add another to our possessions Many admire a rhyme another note always gets their vote ,passion play often the only way, sounds helping their health Never hear of a person acquiring empty shelves,books will fill any nook ,stacked vertical or leaned horizontal,their words have answered many questions Rag doll & a race car now turned to bunches of Barbies spinning Hot Wheels their true beauty just another notch in the belt Ticking of clocks always keeping time ,some require mere cases, meager to monstrous taking on entire museums Sending a simple letter has now gone postal,finding that rare picture will make their hearts melt Garbles of marbles across from mismatched matchbooks,their appeal is real as we add more pieces Bats & ***** gathering dust,minor leaguers gained no fame ,now junk transformed to memorabilia their distinction now unparalleled Avon calling the scent once a common present,not so old bottles now treated like divas Knick or nack another's brick brack maybe a future adorers prize our simple junk adds some spunk,past brought to present at a glance those many baubles just waiting to be shared.
