"Boxes"

When I

First moved into

This house I had a bed

And a rocking chair to my name

And boxes. About two

Hundred boxes

Of books

I told

A neighbour I

Was sitting on boxes

I was eating off boxes too

I was putting my feet

Up on boxes

Boxes

Two weeks 

Later my new

Friend asked me if

I was still eating off boxes

"Not now" I said "Now I

Have a brand new

Dinner plate!"
