Telly Savalas performed this, decades ago. I've tried to have a track, new technology has prevailed and presents a do-able VR.
It has a bit of nostalgia within it.
"Rubber bands and bits of string"
She saved the darn-dest things
Like rubber bands and bits of string
Kitchen draws filled with
so many birthday cards, from long ago.
This recipe for homemade pie she
never had the nerve to try
I should throw them away,
But not today...
Matchbooks from our favorite place
This china doll with a broken face
And pickle bottles filled with plants
the coo-coo clock we bought in France
The memories I'll never lose
A thousand things I'll never use
I should throw them all away,
But not today...
In the bedroom there is a touch
of roses in the air
but, when I turn to find her
She's never really there
it must have been the perfume
the one she used to wear.
House and garden magazine,
Those half-filled jars of jelly beans
Coney Island souvenirs,
A music box thrown here
Umbrella broken in the hall, yea
This pillow from Niagara Falls
They should be thrown away
but not today...
Of all the things I thought she'd take
Would be, the bride and groom
from the wedding cake
But I guess she didn't really care
As she'd left them there.
To sit and stare like me,
they have no tears to cry,
just greens grown over,
Left to die.
Should be thrown away,
but not today...
Flowers on the window sill,
And a long forgotten grocery bill
Seashells from the Jersey shore,
A teapot, from an antique store
Should all be thrown away,
but not today...

@jerry So, you follow the string theory, the ties that bind, the twine that entwines, I put nothing pasta. Thank you Jerry.
