Ode To The Basement
By Matthew Barrett
Oh basement you keep our stuff,
Oh basement after you’re full,
We'll fill up the attic so you can rest
Filled with boxes big and small
Filled with objects never touched or explored
Guitars and Basses and Speakers too
Computers and keyboards all around
Lots of things are just ready to be explored
Nothing junky just useful things trying to find a home
Very mysterious yet very inviting
Like it’s going to reach out and pull you in
On the outside it seems so small but on the inside so large
Thank you dear basement for all of your trinkets that I have enjoyed
Thank you basement for taking care of me when I was sad
You are filled with the darkest secrets that have never been ventured into
You are an untamed grape vine taking up more and more space
And yet, I thank you for all you have given me
I thank you for the times boxes have fallen on me
I thank you for the times stereos fell on my head
I thank you.
