Bushel hamper, wickerwork, hamper basket
Far from your days as a case or casket
Southern born
Who knew your purpose would out grow the fruits, veggies and grains who used you as just a basket
1897, on your way, Sears and Roebuck answered those who asked what can task-it
A beautiful receptacle for the dirty, disheveled work clothes we disown
Built-in, hidden, or a moveable facet
1966, Sears and Roebucks catelogue moved from a simple ad to a three page packet
In all shapes and sizes, often padded with baking soda or litter to hide the smell of our worn
To me you are no less important than anyone living in my hamlet
A welcomed collector, a teacher who taught my dog to pick up socks for a biscuit the fastest
The one on my side, in cahoots, keeping things organized in my cleaning, leaving me fresh and reborn
Far from your days as a case or casket

Why am I left- handed? I started reading the Bible on February 13, 2022 and finished it a year later. And the right hand is the hand spoken of in the Bible. The Bailiff says” raise your right hand” in courtrooms, people extend their right hand to me for a handshake, and I’m over here ,so left-handed.
