Modern Day Pottery

Out shopping one day
Her eyes rested apon
A Fiber Optic Lamp

Reeling her back in time
Oh, how she had loved those
Expensive little lamps

Drawing her in to the store
As if in a trance
Steering her right to
The little fiber optic lamp
Less than 8 loonies
The merchant tag read

They were almost unaffordable
Way back then half a months wages,
Was too dear to spend on such a fancy

Without hestition, she plunked the
Lamp on the counter
She thought to herself
60 years later, finally can afford
A fiber optic lamp

Once home she realized the annoying
Blinking lights in the base was driving her nuts
She sat on her sofa, staring at the optical wonder

On the very shopping day
For some unknow reason
She tossed Mod Podge Glue in her cart

Being an artsy-fartsy type of person
She looked at the blinking lights
Ponders, ah huh! The glue will fix
Those ugly blinking lights
Rooting around in her fabric and craft stash
She found what she needed

Plunk into an empty yogurt container
Went a bit of Mod Podge
Next went the fabric all thoroughly soaked
Draping her creation over a plastic pie lid

She pinched and tweaked the edges to form a little dish
Set it to dry, soon her little modern pottery was formed
Hiding those ugly blinking lights!
