(Lost and) Found Poem

 

A cardigan, a running shoe

A baby’s blanket, crocheted, blue

Glasses in a black case

A violin, a Fender bass

A cellphone, a toy truck

A library book, “The Vintner’s Luck”

A cover for a laptop

A lady’s watch, a riding crop

(No saddle and no horse, of course)

One sachet of tomato sauce

Five umbrellas, one brand new

A large red tube of superglue

Unpunctured, thank God

Three socks, one odd

 

Be aware it’s our intention

All the items aforementioned

If not claimed, will be sold

So no complaints, you have been told
