There one was a man who had too much, collecting items became his crutch.
A hoarder from eight until he was eighty, he just could not find a lady.
One day he decided to sell everything, he would use all the profits to buy a ring.
He found a young lady to ask for her hand, their wedding was small, but oh it was grand!

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
