Porcelain vase
A thing of beauty
Is a joy forever
…Or so they say
But when kept in a cupboard, up the attic
The vase’s beauty fades away
For what’s the use in a vase that is hidden from sight
That isn’t displayed gloriously
Like it’s maker designed
Only atop the counter
In the middle of the hall
Perhaps holding some flowers
Will it have answered it’s call
But what if it falls off the counter and shatters?
The cupboard is the only safe place…
