old friend

As I was tossing this very old brush in the trash

I paused to check his beauty...

yes you heard me right...

he has been a trooper and I have abused him

and taken him for granted,

and what did he ask for in return?

Simply to be cleaned off and placed with his friends.

So I decided to put him out to pasture with 'said' friends 

and he won't be visiting the trash can.

Do you kindred spirits have an old art tool that you can't bear to part with?
