Breaking and Entering

An antique and valuable Orrery
remained untouched by robbery
in standing by a five-pound note
and a carefully taxidermied goat.

Forty seven PC games,
expensive goods with foreign names
marched quite silent out the door
while parchment letters littered the floor.

Drawers full of Gerald’s crap
fell into the burglar’s sack,
while a thousand pounds of unpolished rock
hid in a drawer in an unpaired sock.

So, nothing lost in what they took,
but what they left was what most shook
one’s faith until it shattered;
a steaming mass of fecal matter.
