Our Spring Dilemma
Is spring around the corner?
Nope, she's knocking at the door
With our list to clean the windows
And wash and wax the floor.
We must also check for cobwebs
In the corners of the wall
The spiders have been busy
Since they moved inside last fall.
Time to rid the house of clutter
Can't believe how much we've stored.
In our zeal to save for "later"
Seems that we've gone overboard.
Are there closets "overflowing"
With stuff from who knows when?
Should it go or should we keep it
Till sometime it "fits" again?
Now it seems "Depression babies"
Have grown into adults
And growing up in those hard times
Had various results.
While some grew up as savers
Who just can't bear to purge
Others left bad times behind
And get that urge to splurge.
Now I think I see my problem
As I hold this spool of wool
Some would see it as half-empty
But I see it as half-full.
Oh decisions sap my energy
So a thought I'd like to borrow
Is from Scarlett O'Hara of Tara
"I'll think about it tomorrow."
