Worthlessness doesn't exist



Nothing is truly worthless
At least, not in the technical sense
If you can't form something, you can use it as a blunt weapon
If it's too soft, use it for cushioning
If it's too rough, use it for sanding
If it's too frail, use it for decoration
If it's too ugly, use it as a doormat
If it's too thin, use it as scrap paper for a collage
If you're feeling evil, gather all of it, as much as you can
Make people think it's rare, and sell it for ridiculous prices
Nothing is worthless
Especially not if someone cares about it
And you know what?
I care an awful lot about you
