A Bag of Junk and Garbage<\/b><\/p>\n
by Marc Mangel<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As beauty is in the eye of the beholder —<\/p>\n
or at least some poet said<\/p>\n
so is the value of junk and garbage<\/p>\n
and if those eyes<\/p>\n
are not yet five<\/p>\n
then valuable indeed are junk and garbage<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And a big blue bag of junk and garbage<\/p>\n
could there be a bigger joy in all the<\/p>\n
world,<\/p>\n
except perhaps a big yellow bag of it<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ah, among the many sadnesses<\/p>\n
that we must face<\/p>\n
is that parents<\/p>\n
sometimes cannot tell the great value<\/p>\n
from worthlessness<\/p>\n
cannot know a big blue bag of junk and garbage<\/p>\n
from a bag of trash<\/p>\n
plain and simple<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But do not fret<\/p>\n
They — these foolish parents — may make a<\/p>\n
mistake now and then<\/p>\n
but if you keep on them<\/p>\n
they can learn<\/p>\n
I tell you they can learn the true value of junk and garbage<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
(Context: A valuable bag of j&g belonging to Bethann went missing)<\/p>\n
