A poem or a song
should be written about downsizing.
When I was a teenager, the buzzword was junior prom.
Then it was talk about getting married
then having babies.
Now I’m in my 70’s
And have many friends there too.
What do we talk about now?
DOWNSIZING!
Downsizing has created
a new look for my apartment.
Parts of it look new
like a minimalist would have.
Giving away treasures
to younger family or friends
insures the treasures have a longer life.
Like at Easter time
now with me hunting
for places to put treasures
Downsizing has its own beat
First music of act is slow
then it gets going and picks up speed.
Downsizing
a song or a poem
should be written about DOWNSIZING.
