nifty & nice... #2

type='html'>

find an odd little shelf in the thrift store.

bring it home, hide it in a cupboard.

have an epiphany 3 months later.

drag little shelf out,

lop off its top

(with a bit of care and consideration.)

disguise dodgy treacle brown stain

with same paint as kitchen cupboards.

ask very nicely a little doggie

who lives in a suitcase

if she would care to move

from her little space

after 3 and a half years.

marvel at how quick

your little doggie 

is to take advantage of the move

and in turn

question if life living under an island

had not been quite so thrilling 

as you had thought...

shuffle shelf under island,

if not quite fitting,

do a bit more loping

and deny it was anything 

to do with your pants measuring.

and voila! some display shelves

for knickity knacks

and knackity knicks

'nifty and oh so nice'
