Spring Clean Up Time : Seasonal Poetry

It was springtime clean up in the home ,
So I looked around at what we owned ,
in cupboards and boxes
then I sunk in disbelief at all of the junk we had .
It's amazing what one keeps .
Hoards of it all piled up in big heaps !
Cracked china plates with the odd chipped cup .
Broken things that were never fixed up .
Things that I'm sure will never be used .
Reams of scrap paper,
yesterdays news .
For all this stuff I must find a place ,
but never again to take up space .
Some things in life are better forgot ,
so to the tip I will take the lot.
