Things It is the season of things. Things are going up on doors. Things are hanging from lampposts. Things are on display on large glass Things with things to make them sparkle And things to tell us what these things Will cost. People line up before thing stores To get the newest things on sale. 50% off things. The cheapest things. And soon things will fly high in the air Attached to string things modeled after Things shown on TV. Children’s things. Adults breathing heavily this year Because they will not be able to collect Or give as many things and things Will lie sad and torn and grimacing on their Thing shelves in their thing stores. The things that go into homes rest Proudly in their thing places, held By thing hands pretending or actually loving the things they received. This time of year there are so many things You desperately need several things To accommodate the things that have Accumulated. There is nothing to hold them.
