The Free Items Table

By Bud Lemire 

 

The Multi-Purpose room, has free items for you to see
You never know what you'll find, or what it could be
Come on down, and have yourself a look
Could be almost anything, maybe a good book
Videos, canned food, or even a good old chair
Most are in good shape, or at least they're fair
You just never know, what you're going to find
Anything can be found there, keep that thought in mind

I've placed things there, and they vanished very fast
Things put on that table, never seem to last
As they say, one person's garbage is someone elses treasure
What one person gains, is always hard to measure

If you looked in each apartment, they're as different as can be
Our tastes are our choices, because we value items differently
Just like our tastes in music, or the books we love to read
We follow our likes and interests, wherever they will lead

I think it never hurts, to at least take a look
You might see something, like a hard to find book
You never know what you'll find, or what it could be
The Multi-Purpose room, has free items for you to see

I always take a look when I am passing by, just to see
what is on the Free-Items Table. Now and then there
is something that interests me. But many times there
are items that don't. But I find it interesting just to
see what people are getting rid of, and also to find
out who is the one picking it up.
