Do you want to know the items that sit on my desk <br />You do? Well I'll list them and then give you a test <br />A pair of sunglasses, scissors, a cup and a phone <br />Some papers scattered over and a pen resting alone <br /> <br />Deep stuff this is, of which poems can be crafted <br />This precious information should not be merely shafted <br />The phone displays the words 'Hold', 'Goodbye' and 'Mute' <br />The apple's already eaten, so I can't mention any fruit <br /> <br />On my desk is a rectangle of light provided by the sun <br />It's shape changes over time as it makes its daily run <br />Unfortunately the plant is only just surviving <br />I'd be lying if I said that it was green and thriving <br /> <br />A stick of glue sits there, used only once many weeks ago <br />Who knows, one day its importance will once again grow <br />A ruler, a phone book and an ancient tape recorder <br />Ensure that this desk does not look in perfect order <br /> <br />Well there you have it, the items on my desk <br />I haven't mentioned everything, I'll let you guess the rest <br />The spare RSI preventing mouse, a few little balls of fluff <br />Of course you knew them, because they're typical desk stuff <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2007)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/items-on-my-desk-humour/
