So Many

There are so many things about the home,

Some of them come to mind,

But only a few are considered,

Leaving most of them behind.

There are cords and cables,

Tables and chairs,

Combs and brushes,

Steps and stairs.

Pens and pencils,

Stickers and clips,

Banknotes and coins,

Buttons and zips.

Cups and saucers,

Heaters and fans,

Flowers and paintings,

Pots and pans.

Knives and forks,

Napkins and coasters,

Taps and sinks,

Ovens and toasters.

Bottles and boxes,

Lamps and candles,

Curtains and carpets,

Shoes and sandals.

Shirts and ties,

Mats and rugs,

Pillows and sheets,

Spoons and mugs.

Keys and cards,

Calendars and clocks,

Purses and lipsticks,

Slippers and socks.

Toothpaste and towels,

Bowls and vases,

Puzzles and games,

Mirrors and glasses.

Needles and scissors,

Pockets and pouches,

Brochures and books,

Cushions and couches.

These homely things are all very well,

But it takes so much time;

To find them, then sort them,

Then make the rotten things rhyme!
