Buy, sell, swap, recycle comical poem 637 by Angela Lansbury

 In large firm with many accounts

Some customers owe large amounts

Some people shrug about their debts

And hope the world will just forget

I always like to pay my way

Don't say I'll pay another day

I like to see numbers look neat

And that I stand on my own feet

So often when the urge has gone

It's time to pass old craftwork on

Give ski boots, lilos, high heeled shoes

Gain a wheelchair, what good news

But I have learned don't lend nor borrow

Owing money brings you sorrow

If you give someone what they lack

Earn kudos, don't expect it back 

In our street we have a whatsApp

People say what they'll give away

A useful way to clear your clutter

If you don't earn it doesn't matter

We clear out old baby clothes

And each year kids want different toys

Get rid of things which you can't sell

Musical toys which just make noise

Put surplus apples in a box

Make pairs of puppets from odd socks

Donate a bench to view the docks

On an old t-shirt paint a fox

So much to do now I'm retired

I wake each day with ideas fired

Recycle paper, in its place

An empty box makes a crayon case.

We give somebody what they lack

We don't earn, but we don't pay tax

Just drop it round, no need to pack

Friends give to us - and we give back.

Your Box of Odd Socks (Comic poem 137)

 You're not alone in having odd socks

I, too, have a box of odd socks

I feel so sorry, they look so forlorn

I'm sure they were twins when they were born

But now I am wondering what to do

I've found a few which are nearly new

I know that I'll find the other, one day

After I throw this one away

Sometimes you've thrown the worn sock away

But kept the one which has seen better days

Sometimes one's under the washing machine

Or found inside shoes which needed a clean

There should be a swap box for odd sox online

So you could match your odd socks with mine

You've kept my odd sock from two years ago

Found under your sofa - now we know!

Alas some odd socks have lost their elastic

Some are stained, although made from plastic

Some are shapeless, covered in balls

I can clean them with tape, then they'll wipe down the walls.

Regarding odd socks, one joy I must share

Those who worry like me, those who really care

There's no greater delight, by day or by night

Than sorting odd socks and finding a pair.

I have good reason to not throw away

November 18th will be odd socks day.
