Odds and Ends

Odds and Ends - Miscellaneous items, fragments and remnants, as in I've finished putting everything away, except for a few odds and ends. This expression may have originated as odd ends in the mid-1500s, meaning "short leftovers of some material" (such as lumber or cloth). It had acquired its present form and meaning by the mid-1700s. - The American Heritage® Dictionary of Idioms by Christine Ammer. Copyright © 1997 by The Christine Ammer 1992 Trust.

Inaugural Poem

This is a link to the inaugural poem that followed the President's speech.
I thought it beautifully hemmed the tapestry of ideals and hopes the President presented.
