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.

• 1 Mytouch cellular device
• 1 old shopping list

• 1 chocolate mint Zone Bar wrapper

• 1 apartment key card

• 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.
