Things (Monday Poem)

by Eloise Greenfield

Went to the corner
Walked in the store
Bought me some candy
Ain't got it no more
Ain't got it no more

Went to the beach
Played on the shores
Built me a sandhouse
Ain't got it no more
Ain't got it no more

Went to the kitchen
Lay down on the floor
Made me a poem
Still got it
Still got it


from The Death of the Hat: A Brief History of Poetry in 50 Objects Selected by Paul B. Janeczko, 2015, Candlewick
