Question: Do you have a dishwasher!?
Demi tasse
By C!.S!.Scotkin
Grama, I like that that little cup!.
Can I have juice in it, please!?
It’s “may I” and no, that’s my
demi tasse set, Grampa gave it to me!.
Grama, what’s a demi tasse!?
It’s French, it means a little cup!.
And your finger prints are messy…
I'll teach you to clean it up!.
Every Saturday brought me a dime!.
We talked of china, dinosaurs!.
whale’s teeth, and time
Setting tables, periodic tables,
why I hated boys!.
We talked about kites,
how to cheat playing gin!.
About the state the country was in!.
It was on the sideboard all my growing years!.
Grama died, I washed it with my tears!.
One day a package came, took away my fears!.
A note in the little cup, written in her hand,
“for you, as promised!.”
I will teach my granddaughter to wash fine china!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
