Here’s a story

Of some new dishes

Did I need them?

Why, absolutely no.

I was minding

my own business

there at mahjong,

when Deb said we could go…

To her garage

and check her cabinets

for the chargers

And candlesticks galore.

She had stacks and stacks

Of all these

pretty dishes

But one set made her sore.

Didn’t like 'em.

Wished she’d not bought 'em.

We’ve all been there

And surely understand.

Then my mouth piped up and said,

“Well, I just love them.”

And that’s when Deb put these new dishes

In my hand.

It’s not my fault

It’s not my fault

That’s the way these dishes

Entered my dish vault!
