What's On My Desk
A mug full of pens,
Four cough drops, a spoon
A malfunctioning whistle,
Eight reference books blue
A free tiny set
Of salt-pepper shakers
A huge cluttered mess
Of scribbled-on papers
A bookmark that's inked
With mountain tops high,
A pencil, a button,
A book for the shy
A ring for a finger
A slight bit too large
Enough scattered thoughts
To fit on a barge
A pair of old pliers
That shine nice and clean,
A calendar's title
That's colored in green
A planner that's full
Of many new capers
An empty container
For chocolate fudge wafers
A sketched out beret,
Some misshapen clay,
This list is too long
To clean in one day!
