Fossil of a beetle
Manzanita waxed and polished
Leather satchel full of treasure
Feathers from a stellar jay
Cigar boxes filled with beads of glass
Moss growing in a jar
An old weathered compass
In this marble, fleck of star
Painted buttons in a coconut husk
Ink made of dragons blood
A lock of pilgrim baby hair
The nest of a hummingbird
Six pointed shark teeth
Twisted braids of velvet ribbon
Magic stones and celtic runes
This nail from the desk of Lincoln
Seven years, this collection
See this tarnished cup from long ago?
It might just look like water now
But it once was snow
(I made a museum in my room, buy a ticket, come and see
No wait, for you and only you, it's free.)

To means it seems like a poem, but if it was a song I would wonder, what is the unifying theme? That would be the chorus, the part everyone sings together.
