Made In Germany

In a local hardware store, An old one – not a chain – I found just what I needed, Though I thought I’d search in vain. Some saucers for my flowerpots So water wouldn’t drip. I’d recently transplanted And I had to re-equip. Imagine my surprise, though; On these saucers, what’d I see? A label boldly stating They were “Made in Germany.” It really goes to show you, Since that gave me such a shock, That it’s rare to find an import That is not from Chinese stock. Guess some other countries export, Or at least it so appears, But more likely, my new saucers Have been on that shelf for years!
