Drabble/ Short Poetry

Hand me downs

 

From mum and dad- they got it when they got married

Coming from a department store in the days of customer service- no doubt matched perfectly to demand

In it’s time it has refreshed me and them both

Set of 4 pieces, one tray and a hinged lid

Futuristic and shiny in steel

Do you dip or stir? Or just wait for time to take it’s effect?

Don’t keep looking- We’ll know when it’s ready

Without mesh ball originally

Have you asked the vicar if he wants more? –What vicar?

On hand for as long as the conversation takes, best for a coven of 2 or 3

I can’t imagine the time coming when we put it on the tip

We can’t do without it.
