The worst thing I ever bought

The worst thing I ever bought was a children's pop up shade tent. The baby won't stay put under its shade. It blows around the yard. A cat pissed in it. I can't figure out how it neatly coils back into its convenient carrying case.

So, this early wet autumn
in the back yard it sits topsy
turvy where it started right side
up, now billowing unpleasantly,
soiled and unenjoyed.

There is, maybe, a hot beach where, one day, I will carry it in its convenient carrying case and we'll pat our own backs, saying, "so worth the twenty five dollars."
