Records are all scratched
It's real rare to find a gem
So I keep looking

In thrift stores I find
Beauty in things useless to
others. But not me.

I love the thrift haikus!  I thought I was the only one who did them! 

My sister and I used to work in a thrift store, so these are from the other end of the shopping experience:

Spode dinnerware - yes!
But in the same donation
Used underpants.  No.

Logo denim shirt
Freebie from your company
No one wants it, man

I'll give it a shot...

Misbehaved children,
People who don't speak English,
I love thrift shopping!


Twenty dollars for
Something that sells new for ten.
What were they thinking?
