BOXES

Boxes

Oh! Boxes are great

For putting stuff in

For packing and stacking

And storing within

Four sides and a lid

With a label applied?

Compartments of joy

For the wonders inside!

And boxes are fun

When they’re empty of things

For the astronaut’s

Shuttle that flies without wings

So why in the world

Do they say to discard

All the boxes I’ve loved

Whether paper or card?

All for ‘thinking outside

That box’ in your mind?

When boxes are awesome

At helping me find,

All my filing, adventures

The stuff in my brain!

Nope I’ve thought it all through,

And my boxes remain.

For, boxes are great!

For putting stuff in

For sorting and porting

And moving a thing

Four sides and a lid!

What treasures are bound!

I wonder, inside

The boxes I’ve found?
