yard sailing

Now the days are longer,

So along the streets we glide;

Cruising all the yard sales

With our eyes completely wide.

Oh look!  Here is a coffee mug

From "Nancy's Breakfast Nook"

And over there are half the cards

To play a game of Rook.

(The rest of them I think are

in this Reader's Digest Book.)

what a lovely wading pool –

it only needs some patches.

A stack of LP's by Burl Ives

Without too many scratches!

(These candles scented barberry

come with a box of matches.)

I don't know what this do-jig is

But Grandma had one like it;

I think it plays the Marseillaise

When on the top you strike it.

(And here's a map of Istanbul

for those who want to hike it.)

A bowling ball, for goodness' sake!

A yellow fondue set.

A pillow from Niagra Falls.

A nylon fishing net.

(We could use these mason jars

without the lids I bet.)

Oh, we are crafty hunters

Who will scour hill and dale,

Looking for a bargain that

Could be the Holy Grail.

(And now we're stuck with all this stuff

let's hold our own yard sale.)
