God, please save me from garage sales.
Whenever I see one, it just never fails.
I always have to stop and look around
at all the junk laid out on the ground.
Oh, the excitement! What might I find?
What treasures await? It boggles the mind!
It's usually worthless, but you just never know!
You might find an authentic Vinnie Van Gogh!
But so far, I've only bought stuff I don't need
like a mountain of books I can't find time to read,
old clothes that are already starting to fray
and old records that are too scratched to play.
Searching through old boxes gives me such pleasure.
It makes me feel like a pirate searching for treasure!
It's prob'ly wishful thinking but I know that someday
I'll find something to sell for big bucks! I just may!
But half the joy of garage sales is passing the time
with old folks and children and neighbors of mine.
Just shooting the breeze like folks did in the past
is less common now that the world moves so fast.
I have no excuse. I guess I'm a hopeless case
but I run into garage sales all over the place!
My home's filled with junk. My family's in a huff.
I've got to have a sale to get rid of this stuff!!
This kettle was brand new from Sears! I've been wanting a kettle but never wanted to spend money on one! Patience is key.
Sweet new spacious table! It's perfect for scrapbooking too!

So, this is why you're selling your old table! That's pretty sweet, but the most important question is how much did you PAY for that stuff? I hope you knocked down the price. Always offer low. I'm a garage sale queen.
I love your new table!! No one sells good stuff around here. Nope. No one. It's sad but true.
heellloo, why do you think it's so important Bob comes garagesaling with me! He's the bargainer! We knock down the price of everything! I mean Bob does.
