ode to the pull tab

['E']

Love the poem, I'll add my 2 cents worth:

It rings up as a nickel, so I dig it out,
"Another darn pulltab!", I scream & shout,
I'm tired of digging up these stupid things,
Why can't you be money & pretty rings?

O' pull-tab, O' pull-tab, I must admit
hearing your tone, my heart races a bit.
If truth be told, your shape is quite functional.
I can string you on a necklace
or make items educational.

Look what you've done!
We all are a mess.
What other tiny items could cause so much stress?

You used to have a tail, but now you do not.
Sometimes you cause pain like a bad booster shot.

Big bill we would still be mad because we would be cursing ourselves for all the ones we threw away.

Gosh, and I thought they were desirable collectible little thingies, and valuable too. Just the thing when the gold and silver market goes bust. A ready supply, and a lot of practice to collect them. We'll be rich!

I am pleased that everyone enjoyed and participated in the poety! You are wonderful writers and eloquent in delivery. That underscores the very heart of who you all are and presents a very nice picture of the treasure hunters personalities.
I haven't a doubt that we would all like each other immensly if we met personally. For the moment though it's enough that you have shared a little insight into your hearts and taken the timne to share it with us all.
Thank You for the kind words and may your Thanksgiving holidays be filled with the warmth and love of the season and your families.

And so the Pull Tab Story Goes
Of how it brings so many woes
To those who seek a shiny thing
Like some Silver or Golden Ring

But at last when they claim their Find
Once again it's Pull Tab Time
Just once they wish it would not be
That pesky alluminun S.O.B

They move on to dig the next hole
Wearing the look of a Pull Tab Soul
They get a Tone, It sounds so Fab
Then Oh *&$%^# Another Pull Tab

Had to get in on the fun.
