One fine day someone, <br />came into the store, <br />and took us off the shelf, <br />they threw their money down, <br /> <br />We were tossed into a bag, <br />so dark was it in there, <br />suddenly we heard lots <br />of people talking, <br /> <br />We were inside a smoked <br />filled room, this man pulled <br />us out of the bag, he then <br />opened our package we <br />were in, took us out, <br /> <br />He threw us onto <br />the table, after <br />placing money there, <br />'Darn it, he said, <br />I rolled snake eyes'. <br /> <br />He was so mad, he threw <br />us in the wastebasket, <br />and not the table again, <br />so that was where, <br /> <br />we stayed until the <br />next day, when some <br />kind person took us <br />out and said 'Hey, <br />I found me some dice'. <br /> <br />So that's what we are! <br /> <br /> <br />(4-6-07)<br /><br />jim foulk<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/off-the-shelf/
