Cups -Personification-

They like to be held
when the weather gets cold,
they could be worn down to nothing
don't mind growing too old.

They enjoy having a cold drink
even a warm one would do,
enjoy being kissed softly
when they're feeling blue.

They won't cry a single tear
so long as you're there with them,
all they really want
is to be your friend.

I know this sounds corny, but I'm trying to find something to write about.

Not corny one little bit, bite your tongue woman! This personification is beautiful and sensuous. If you give someone a cup this Christmas... the message will be very clear. Well done, Cynthia.
