MonoMonday ~ Still Life

Qahwa

There's a copper kettle
That sits high upon a shelf
No one has ever moved it
And it sits there by itself
Everyone ignores it
As they pass along the way
Never giving any thought
To a thing that was hand made
The skill of the man who made it
Has gone from us today
So while this copper kettle
Is ignored in this sad way
It has lasted very much longer
Than the plastics of today

Fact of the day ~
Who would've thought? The Mosquito causes an estimated 1 -2 million fatalities a year. Far less than the 1 - 2 that bears cause each year.

Thanks Rainie for hosting, a FUN challenge! I so look forward to Mondays, it's great to see what other blippers do in their part of the world!
