Thrift Store Donation Bin

The Bacon Cat Legging Society

No Broken -

just a few holes and cracks.

Not quite worn enough to throw away,

and she takes up too much space.

What once was priceless,

Will now sit lonely on a shelf,

Marked a dollar ninety nine,

Worth less the teas she cried.

Who could love, an old, vintage me?

Maybe someone out there has a need,

For a heart that is well used but still has a lot to give,

It's yours to find,

If you like,

left inside,

the Thrift Store donation bin.
