Yellow Guitar Picks

"My purse is so filled with guitar picks, green tea bags and bandaids that I can barely find anything else in it!" - Me, last night

One of the yellow picks on my bass

Yellow Guitar Picks

Last week I accidently

tried to pay for my coffee

with a mix of quarters, dimes,

and bright yellow guitar picks.

Yesterday I was digging

in my purse for my car keys

but all I seemed to be able to grab

were band-aids, green tea bags,

and yellow guitar picks.

I finally emptied my purse

of the band-aids and tea bags

but there were too many picks,

mixed in with coins, to even think

about rescuing all of them.

Today I grabbed my purse

by the bottom and before I realized

what I was doing, the contents cascaded

all over my passenger seat and beyond!

All I could do was facepalm myself and laugh

as yellow pick after yellow pick poured out,

many of them never to be seen again.

Yeah, I probably had that one coming!
