WHERE DID WE GET THAT GREEN UMBRELLA?



Spring cleaning, that spring, revealed
    colorful stuff
to be rid of...or keep.

Seven orange golf balls for playing
    in the snow...
Old torn sneakers, with red soles...

A Barlow boyhood pocket-knife, with a 
    rusty blade...and blue 
         abalone scales...
A bunch of yellow ceramic bananas...

A forty-year old ragged purple T-shirt
   with MHS lettered on it...
A pink rose, pressed and dry, coming
    apart...

A big,  seemingly oversized greenback
    in plastic, saved from The Great
         Depression....

Pink pair of socks from last year's
    Breast Cancer Awareness Drive....

My long-lost black-and-orange fake
    Transler, used to scare people...

And where did we get that green
    umbrella?

(Was it that White Elephant Party
    that lasted until two a.m.?)

It can GO!
