Five brothers and sisters
in excitement wait
Saturday afternoon ritual
Fresh bread aroma
straight from the oven
almost done
Lard and an orange bead
in a twisted plastic bag
squeezed and squeezed
(fake butter)
Now comes my part
Standing 8 inches tall
5 at the belly
Outside hand-painted
chinese people
prepare to eat
Lid has a small hole
a good pour spout
cane wrapped handle
My insides wait
smooth farm fresh milk
Sugar and cocoa powder
Heated and blended
perfection
A silky concoction
Todays menu
Warm bread
&
Hot Chocolate
Childs' delight
served in big
'2 hand mugs'
Best of all ...to hear
mother and children
laughing
I wait all week
to share their pleasure
I'm way over 65 now
just and old Teapot
that makes the best hot chocolate
Ever!!
This is written from the Hot Chocolate Pots' voice
this is from a childhood memory and I still have the tea/cocoa pot... It sits on my buffet and is over 65 years old
