Older and Wiser<\/div>\n

Closet. Buffet. Vault. Wardrobe. Repository. Sideboard. Ambry. Bin. Locker.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
No matter what you call it, I don\u2019t use it.<\/div>\n
I don\u2019t hang up my clothes.<\/div>\n
My whole life I\u2019ve been a piler.<\/div>\n
No matter what my mother said or did,<\/div>\n
I made a pile in my room.<\/div>\n
When I got married, I got the big closet in the bedroom<\/div>\n
and I made a pile on the floor.<\/div>\n
I am older now.<\/div>\n
I know better.<\/div>\n
I am wise.<\/div>\n
And I have respect for the other person in the house.<\/div>\n
Now I use a laundry basket.<\/div>\n
One for clean clothes and one for dirty.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

That\u2019s better.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The painting is not complete. I’ll finish it in the next week or so. But all twelve poems are contained. It has been such fun. Good luck to all you 24ers out there!<\/div>\n
