.5. So Many Jars Poem by David Threadgold

My shed full of shelves
Holding so many jars
With odd bits and bobs
Off so many past cars

All saved just in case
I should need them one day
Mixed up together
Stored safely away

Nuts, bolts and screws
Rusty tin tacks and nails
With fittings galore
Off our old curtain rails

An old card of fuse wire
But now we have breakers
So there it will sit
And may never get takers

Now when I need something
I look at the stars
And buy yet more rubbish
To fill yet more jars
