Collections

***Written from only the title***

Collections of stamps
And collections of coins
Collections of cards
And collections of toys

Rooms packed full
Dark dusty attic
Damp musty basement
Obsession concealment

Newspapers stacked
High up the walls
In boxes are packed
Baseballs and dolls

Animals stuffed
Line shelf after shelf
And dozens of books
Fill every bookshelf

Musical boxes
Play sorrowful tunes
While the jack-in-the boxes
From their boxes protrude

Dust coved mirrors
Wind chimes out of tune
Collections of time
And memories too.
