A Matter Of Stuff Poem by Donal Mahoney

A Matter Of Stuff

Rating: 3.5


Gramps knows a minister
who collects classic Corvettes.
He rents another garage whenever

he buys another Corvette.
He says his estate will sell the cars
when he passes away.

The money will go to the poor.
Gramps knows another minister who
has turned down a gift of beautiful quilts.

She said give them to Oliver Burns
whose children sleep under blankets
the sightless can see through.
