11/30: Knives For Sale

"Why on earth would you ever need a knife?”-- Concerned Younger Sister
“In case I need to stab someone. Duh.”-- Me.

This collection of knives
For sale to not the highest,

                But first

Bidder.

I want them gone. My wrist action

Is tired, I don’t fancy a quick garrotting

Any more.

They are sharp, clean, in good condition,
they should go to someone I know,

Who will use them well.

I’m neither as tough
Nor noble

As I thought.

So here, for  a reasonable-- I’m not
Asking much; pick them up or walk.

We’ve been having this conversation too long.

And either way
You’ll get them.
