The Be$t
Price$ In Town
The Clothes Are All Folded
And Laid Out With Care
The Old Record Albums
All Priced Very Fair
The Kids Old Stuffed Toys
(Only One Without Tail)
Hey !
It's Time For Our Annual
Rummage $ale
We Spent All Last Month
Getting Ready For This
While Struggling With Memories
Of Junk We Might Miss ?
The Kids Painted Signs
To Put Up Around Town
As I Placed The Last Price Tag
On That Old Pink Prom Gown
The Old Christmas Ornaments
Always Go Quick
But, That Old Halloween Witch
Now Only Says; "Trick"
Hmmmm . . . ?
But I Still Have To Question
Myself Every Year
If My Brains Need Removing
From My Derriere' ?
I Mean Really Now !
Do Garage $ales Make $ense ?
We Sort And We Fuss
And Then Make .50 Cents !?
( Duh ??? )
Some Professional Scholar
Should Study This Thing
The Human Behavior
That Garage $ales Bring
A Mercedes Can Pull Up
And The Couple Get Out
Then Dicker Over A Dollar ?
" What's That All About "
Another Car Pulls In
Almost Through My Door
Then Stares Through The Windshield
Like It's A Drive-Thru Store
Oh My . .
Why Do We Spend Hours
Just Labeling Stuff
Then Haggle And Quibble
To Shut Down In A Huff ?
One Minute I'm Convinced
All My Items Are Gold
Then The Next They're Just Worthless
All Tattered And Old
And Why Do I Take It
So Personally ?
When A Shopper Rejects
All The Things That They See ?
It's A Disease And I Know It
It's Just Pure Craziness
And Repeats Itself Annually
So There ~ I Confess !
Oh, I Better Get Going
A Car Just Slowed Down

"The Be$t Price$ In Town"
~ Jody Harmon ~
This poem is dedicated to ..
Someone
And that "Someone" shall remain Nameless.
But, ~ that "Someone" knows exactly who she is
and lives her summer months "Garage Sale Shameless"!
The Bumper Sticker on the back of her tired old
overstuffed Sedan is proof of what I say, but I have a sneaky
feeling that she has a Relative living somewhere close to you
too.
You'll recognize them, as soon as you see the
