Trip Gear Poem by Bill Grace

Heavy underwear that makes Nautica earn their name
Aunt Ruth's old socks from adolescent years
Eleanor's belt celebrating a 6th grade vcitory
Laurie's gift of Fairbanks nudge in shirt that actually fits.

Heavy oiled leather of high ancle shoes
That can save from shoveled snow
From when there was income of position
Far more than job,

With care and time past
Things can form a travel outfit
Adequate to new day.
