Analysis of The junk drawer
The drawer of pieces, the has-been bin.
The drawer full of all your odds and ends.
Sometimes a whatnot or a thingamajig,
Parts left over from last year’s gig.
A knickknack, a battery pack,
A doodad, or a do that.
You just can’t throw them out,
Old and abandoned they might amount.
