Blue Willow
Dishes in our house abound;
From days of yore until today,
An assortment will be found,
In various display.
China -cupboards over flow,
Kitchen shelves we fill.
Saucers in a greenhouse
Or on the window sill.
We have Mikasa from Japan
For all those special days;
Like Christmas and Thanksgiving,
And PFALTZGRAFF everyday.
William Sonoma's blue on white,
Fleur de lis is currently where it's at.
Imported wine pichers are used
When friends stop by to chat.
You might say my wife's a dish
Collector/magpie and all-
We never eat off blue willow,
It just hangs there on the wall.
