Everybody has a drawer
Of things they don’t need any more
Pictures cut from magazines
Little parts from small machines
Bottle caps and little tops
Take-out menus, cards from shops
Extra sets of unknown keys
Everyone has things like these
Useless little things like these
People find room in their hearts
For machines with broken parts
Things they should have thrown away
The old, the damaged and the stray
And I too seem to fill my days
With silly little throwaways
With gewgaws, junk and oddities
And useless little songs like these
Little songs like these
(after Dorothy Parker)
