Old Things © Tony Fallon073018
Pieces were devised
On the whim of kings
And now are prized
As priceless things
Craftsmen of the past
Toiled with great pride
To make things that last
Long after they have died
If everything was old
Nothing would be unique
And would not be sold
For the price of an antique
Who would care about Chippendale?
Or a Queen Anne chair
Even if they were on sale
They’d be everywhere
