My Potholders

P retty sitting on the hook all ready to be used.

O ven hot and waiting to see you.

T he fabric can be cloth or yarn to make you strong.

H old your shape washing after washing.

O n call when I need you the most.

L ove you keep the pan from burning my hands.

D ay and night you are in my sight.

E very dish is waiting for your caress.

R unning hot dishes you pass the test.

S ay a potholder or say an oven mitt we are both your friend.

What a great poem about something so mundane as pot holders yet so well penned and so necessary in the kitchen!
