I sit here in the charity shop
On a shelf all on my own
Not a very friendly place
Like it used to be at home.
Where I was loved and cherished
For the memories that I held
And other much loved articles
Where lots more memories dwelled
But then my owner passed away
And things began to change
We things of little value
Were looked upon as strange.
So we were sent to this place
To sit and wait until
Someone comes along and sees
We have those memories still.
Ah, that’s great Don and so very true. Xxxx
That’s a very thoughtful poem Don 🙂
I have valueless items like that which I'm sure will finish up in a charity shop, or more likely a skip. 🙄
Just what I said in your previous Post Don. xxxx
Good morning Mr.D and your female followers have said it all 😊. sassy59 ,@lizzyw and Hacienda ;- we all love this rhyme and just how true it is when discarded items are shelved until a new owner spots them - a thoughtful subject for today's rhyme! Thank you! 👍💞
OMG have I displayed my feminine side. 😱
Oh Mr.D ,please don't get overly 😡 upset,as it's the "new thing" apparently,to show a teeny ,weeny bit of your feminine side. Embrace it. Flaunt it !!! 💅👠👗, 😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!!
I'm long past getting upset about such things, SH, and I don't mind what I display of myself anymore. (I should really reword that suppose ).
Just give us all a heads up when you are in display mode Cap'n please
Don darling if you were in my charity shop you would be treasured as an antique and would be eagerly sought by an enthusiatic collector, who would think you were beautiful. We would look you up on Ebay first of course! You would raise a fortune for the cause. 😁❤💖 xx
Can I rely on you to save me from the skip then Pussycat? 🧐x
Definitely. We had this bear come in yesterday with a squashed damaged nose and I said yuck! My manager held it reverently and said this is old and wonderful! Just like you my friend. 
xx
I can just see Don as a "Toby Don" sitting on a Shelf with lots of other Femininities . xxxx
Another poignent poem Don, our treasures are those which have found memories for us. Others don't see this and that's why they are consigned to the tip or charity shop. 😭
Aw Don that's a good one ❤️💕X
I love charity shops and woe betide anyone who says they like pigs, or bears or clowns or whatever! Just love an excuse to gather them up and give them where they will be treasured. My shelves are pretty full now, and bought long before charity shop days at Antique fair prices. Give me pleasure still. Hope someone will find them and treasure them again someday.
Thanks for the super poem, Love Iris x
I’ve sent a few things to the charity shop this morn, reluctantly...now I’m worried they might be lonely!! Maybe a loving new home soon?!
Thanks, Don, you usually manage to pull a few heart strings 💞 xx
My daughter loves jumble sales and vintage fairs Don. She hunts all the good stuff out.
Ah the things we get attached to, a plastic Smurf etc. Still have not got the heart to go to the op shop. Who will love it? Sooner or later we all have to down size and bite the bullet hey? Love your poems Don. Marg
Very true..good one
Ohhh it feels so lonely on that shelf all alone !!!! 👵👵👵👵
It sounds like I could be coming to sit next to you any time soon, in my pink coloured tutu! 🙄
Thanks 🎀...you can wear the bow though🤣
Bring back any memories ?
