Precursor

My grandpa owned a laundry 

And when shirts were washed and pressed,

They were folded ‘round some cardboard

To stay neat ‘til you got dressed.


Our family shirts were treated

Just the same, except we learned

My grandpa paid a nickel

For each cardboard we returned.


This way, he used them once again

And so it seems that I’m

A descendant of a person who

Recycled ‘fore his time.
