Isn't it just grand to sift through the thrift shop - peeking here and there and you have to go round a few times, for each time you see something that hadn't caught your eye the last trip around. I like this poem and "Stumpy" would be most welcome in my yard. Gotta love this poem. Hi n Hugz to all :)

On Finding Stumpy
I just can't help it
I never throw away
A piece that might be handy
In dozens of other ways
Oh, the treasure one can find
If you only stop to look
And take a little time
In one place such as this
I discovered "Stumpy"
I could not resist
Minus one hand
Missing some toes
He had a new fan
Sitting in my ferns
He smiles a lot
No concern for what he hasn't
Just proud of what he's got
