Comic books in childhood, coins and stamps today;

I collect most anything that ever comes my way.

Soap from a hotel room in Pittsburgh (that's PA).

Playdoh cans and empty bags of chips from Frito-Lay.

Toothpicks from a franchise called The Olde Country Buffet.

Dobie Gillis posters and old cans of insect spray.

Vintage key chains and a set of mismatched wood parquet.

My pride and joy – a 1949 green TV tray.

Some may brand it clutter and call for a valet.

But I can't live without it – your trash bags you must stay.

I see the world's against me, they think me easy prey.

Ha! Ha!  I've cadged some steak knives, and I know how to fillet!
