Ditch the Past

Clean your house out – ditch the past!

Get rid of all that you’ve amassed.

VHS tapes and cassettes,

Toys and trophies – no regrets!

 

Old TVs with bulging backs,

Books you’ve read (piled up in stacks);

Souvenirs from every tour,

Blinds and shades (passe décor).

 

Piggy banks and pocketbooks,

Earrings meant for younger looks,

Even bunkbeds not in use

Must be gone – there’s no excuse!

 

Go through closets, clear each shelf

Of former versions of yourself.

Time to bid these things goodbye;

Make it easy when you die.
