Cleaning Out the Shed

We’re cleaning out the shed And tossing out a lot of stuff. Although we’ve filled up several bags, It isn’t quite enough. There’s so much more that’s left for us To go through and decide If it is destined for the dump Or gets to stay inside. Old toys and games and pots and pans And papers we don’t need, Which shouldn’t have been saved if I Had let my husband lead. But clinging to the past is what I often do instead, Which I could not have done as much Had we not built the shed.
