The Contents of My Purse


When I was a senior in high school, I did a poetry workshop and wrote a poem entitled "The Contents of My Purse on November 19, 2004".

I have heard a rumor of purse contents blog entries going around, and thought I would take advantage of such an occasion.

Also, my purse is getting very heavy and need to be cleaned out.

FRONT POCKET:
  • 1 pair garish turquoise plastic sunglasses
  • 1 Nokia pen
  • 1 Visa gift card with $17.56 remaining balance
  • 16 mini Tootise Rolls
  • 1 Mytouch cellular device
  • 1 old shopping list

  • 1 chocolate mint Zone Bar wrapper

  • 1 apartment key card

FRONT ZIPPERED POCKET
  • 15 pennies
  • 7 dimes
  • 4 nickels
  • 11 quarters
  • 2 balled up Valentine Hershey's kiss wrappers
  • 1 business card for a salesman from HOM furniture that I would still like to utilize when I have more than 11 quarters.

So the contents of my purse reveal a few things about me:
