Cups of joy
Seldom in the daily rush of life
Do you meet with such perfection;
Beautifully displayed, with love and care,
They arouse a deep affection.
Such vessels are a joy to hold
And warm the cockles of your heart.
Lovingly filled, sweet and warm and milky,
They are a most wond’rous piece of art.
O glorious porcelain saucer and cup
I swoon, en route to fainting,
Now, if the woman will kindly step away,
I can look more closely at the painting.

you noticed the vessels?
ReplyDeletefunny ..
i noticed the apples.
Apples? What apples?
DeleteSure, the apples are nicely painted but I have a soft spot for tea cups.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking that I am being familiar with A-cups and being familiar with B-cups. I am even being familiar with cups that are being both C-cups and D-cups. But I am not being familiar with the T-cups.
ReplyDeleteMuch can be said about tea cups. Or so I've heard.
ReplyDeleteLovely cups - and the teacup isn't bad either ;)
ReplyDeleteHey, did she lose her Easter bonnet?
ReplyDeleteMight have lost something on the bonnet. Or the back seat.
ReplyDeleteProbably could do with a nice cup of tea and a wee lie down. Or not.
I'm a& fan of silicon, as well. Like this handy quiche dish or these muffin cups. Oh look! Muffin CUPS! I stayed in topic!
ReplyDeleteOh you are a wag!
ReplyDeleteTghanks Kitty, I hadn't thought of that alternative use for silicone cupcake moulds - beware cut-price cosmetic surgery, let's just hope they washed them up properly...
Lucy! Look! Those in the picture already have the 'cherry on top' as part of the design! What a time saver!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a sensual and evocative picture and a very funny text - particularly the last two lines.;)
ReplyDeleteOn a more modest note, hope your Easter was wonderful.;)

That's hilarius...really
ReplyDeleteLol, nice cup cakes, the painting as well ... your poem is very funny dear J Cosmo though I was a little concerned as to where the last line in the first stanza was heading :)...
ReplyDeleteThe last two lines are a nice touch.
xoxoxo ♡
Thats brilliant and refreshing and funny ...all at the same time!!! AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteKitty: Silicone valley will never be the same. Somehow 'date roll' comes to mind but I'm not sure about how to get it cooking.
ReplyDeleteProtege: Thank you. Easter was everything a heathen could ask for.
ReplyDeleteHer cup(s) runneth over.

Well, there's a first: an Anonymous comment that isn't in Korean, Japanese or Chinese.
ReplyDeletePLUS the Anonymous comment isn't slandering, mean, degrading and is actually on topic! A first!
ReplyDeleteRelayed from Dianne (For some reason Blogger didn't post it): Lol, nice cup cakes, the painting as well ... your poem is very funny dear J Cosmo though I was a little concerned as to where the last line in the first stanza was heading :)...
