The Fruit Basket Teapot


My husband returned from Bulgaria today

He had been away on business

We shared a bath soon after

As he needed to bury his journey

Vincent returned with a present

As he always does when he travels

My only rule is that these gifts

Must be purchased from airport shops

Today he gave me a teapot

As I collect teapots

It is a teapot as a fruit basket

A picnic of apples and oranges

Bananas and grapes

Presented on an olive green cloth

It is for decoration only

As is not designed to function

As a normal teapot
