Goodwill Sweater by Alice C. Teeple

Goodwill Sweater

I saw you crumpled on the floor
With wooden buttons and collar.
The deal, it seemed, too good for truth
The price tag said "One Dollar."

I treasured and cherished you night and day,
I loved your woolly smell.
I did not wear you in the summer
When it was hot as hell.

But when I moved and packed you away,
What happened made me ill.
For I took the wrong bag
Back to the frickin' Goodwill.

Alice Teeple lives in an attic, because her health insurance does not cover flash flooding. She has, more recently, earned the reputation of being an insomniac, a caffeine addict, and an eccentric. Insomnia, caffeine addiction, and eccentricity are not covered on Alice's health insurance, either. In fact, Alice doesn't even have health insurance. Visit her e-zine, Exquisite Dead Guy.
