Passsion for Collecting Clothes comical poem post 517 by Angela Lansbury
Collecting spreads like infection Collecting creates connection Connection leads to correction Correction is like resurrection As a child I collected stamps Which showed dancers in national dress The colours of the national flags Then coins with Queen's hats I liked best I then collected small thimbles Stored in a case hung on the wall Though I've moved on, they haven't gone I dust and make sure they won't fall I collect clothes, caps and ear-rings I collect scarves and belts and gloves Colleccting jewels, pretty things In every shade, that's what I love Sewing machine instructions, cards Though many craft shops went away They might open again one day Their cards come in useful one day What can I paint on a tee-shirt? Draw on a special birthday card? Copy fake flowers or a dress From my vast store that is not hard Now my friends have passed away, I Collect poets' obituaries I note dress codes for funerals Cute quotes on invites to cemeteries. -ends-
