I've developed an affinity for chipped glassware,
But only of a certain type -
The article must be of use
For mere prettiness is trite.
I like the idea of perfection,
The suggestion of what will be or was,
And yes of course I'm quite particular,
For I guard my glass with blood.
And I won't accept just any flaw,
Some cracks are just too deep.
For only glass that's durable,
Is truly good to keep.
A good chip gives glass character,
While a bad one makes it trash.
And the distinction is quite delicate,
In fact formed of sand and ash.
Yes chipped glassware is my favorite type,
My first selection above all
But i'm always sad when Nature shows,
That my chipped glassware has true flaws.
