Hoarder (etheree)

by Larry Chamberlin   May 13, 2014


He
died with
a number
incredible
of large paper clips
scattered throughout home, car,
office and ev'ry briefcase
he owned, to the great amazement
of wife, employer and coworkers
none of whom could find one when they needed.

    This is so ridiculously awesome!!! Your formatting is just so perfect it emphasises the hoarding, very very clever.also very good subject matter in the sense that everyone has that one object in their house that nobody can ever find when needed, but as soon as the need has subsided, you suddenly find them everywhere (mine is hairclips and pens :-P)

    Hahahaha! Great.
    Do you watch the show, Larry? I was watching it last night... it's rough. But I really like the spin you put on this. Paperclips, tacks, socks, and pencils. The things I can never find.

      Don't watch the show but I know several of them.
      Actually, I opened up an old briefcase of my own & was flabbergasted to find a hoard of them. I had a moment's thought of "They'll find me dead with millions of paper clips."
