O nce I have
all I can get
I’ll still want more
and more
and yet
the stuff I have
I must ignore
to have the time
to find some more
to stash
what it is I got
so there’ll be nothing
I have not
and when I have
all that there is
I’ll sit back
and say
gee wiz
I’m not certain
this is all
there is
limited space
no way
no way
I can fit more in
today
I may be nuts
or maybe not
but gotta have more
than what I got
I’m on the verge
of losing it
but I believe
more will fit
we’re near full
for sure
for sure
but I can still
fit a bit more
I can always
fit a bit more
though what I have
is gathering dust
and some perhaps
is gathering rust
though the walls
are ‘bout to bust
I’ll stuff in more
because
I must
I simply
must
