When Grandma Burned My Nest Egg
Comic books, priceless baseball cards, original Playboy Magazines of Marilyn Monroe, Because my grandma got angry with me back then is the reason why today I have no place to go. I now realize I should have taken out the garbage that particular day, I should have removed my muddy shoes before tramping on the new carpet that way, I'm stuck at a four-way stop and I feel myself steadily growing old, This all happened one day after a drenching rain about fifty years ago, Blue ribbons for my horse, ...basketball and track trophies for me, of course, ... all of the concrete memories of my private world were thrown into the fire that day. Grandma threw the meanest fit and destroyed my trophy room and emptied it that day. It was her way of protesting when things didn't quite go her way. I still have my memories, though ... to carry with me for a few years more. Some are written down and tucked away in my miscellaneous drawer.
