Did your Aunt have a junk drawer?

Question: Did your Aunt have a junk drawer!?

The summers spent
Beloved Aunt!.
A junk drawer brimming
With mysteries!
Waiting for my little hands
To solve!
My task to straighten!
Toss, exclaim over…
Treasures hidden there!.
Now I have my own!.
It’s never as exciting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like this one!.
Nice work:)
I would write more, but not enough coffee yet for me:)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh yes! (Don't we all!?)
Rubber bands, staples,
Pens that don't work!.
That mesh thing of candies
From someone's wedding!.
Bobby pins, batteries,
I don't know what this thing is!.!.!.
Better keep it though,
We might need it someday!

Another chore you have reminded me of!
Good morning!Www@QuestionHome@Com

My Aunt lives on a farm!. She had a great big barn!. Oh, what mysteries she had in there!. Chickens cluck their surpise at intruders in their roost! She had no junk drawers--just a junk barn!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Perhaps not to you, but perhaps to all your wee little kinswomen who come and visit from time to time!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have one where everything goes
Everyone has one, or so I suppose!.
Filled with pencils,odd tools and tacks,
Scraps of paper, done up in stacks!.
Hair elastics, scissors and odds and ends,
Telephone no's of new made friends!.
Wha surprises when you go to clean
What I should use is a gaint vacuum machine!.
But it is all "so important" you never know
I might just need it, so I don't throw!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have some junk!. I have some aunts!. One list grows, the other shrinks!. We lost Aunt Eva yesterday!. She had a wonderful life!. Charlie (my dad's next younger brother) was an intelligence officer in the USAF (the spy in the family)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have an aunt and uncles too, and junk in drawers and closets!. I have too much "stuff!." I need to clean up and get organized!. Maybe tomorrow!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No! My maternal family was way too organized and you certainly did not prowl through their drawers!.

I have a junk drawer (probably inherited trait from my paternal side)!. It isn't a lot of fun but I can find things there after I have looked in all the other likely places!. Some times!Www@QuestionHome@Com
