My Favourite Souvenir Poem by J.L. Nash

a fawn coloured camel leather shoulder bag
a pocket on the front precisely sized for my digicam
two zipped smaller pockets at the bag wherein my pills fit perfectly
enough room inside for the ever faithful notebook
mosquito repellent
a purse
several pens
and a picture of my darling
in a tiny little frame

It called to me
and i don't care if i could have bought it cheaper
as a design there's none neater
and i will carry it with me
until i am older
because i bought it in Luxor
