Six plates in the wedding room
A gift for the bride and groom
Moving the stuff into Elwood Drive
The box was dropped, and then there's five
Washing up drunk, one drops to the floor
Smashes to pieces- then there were four
Stacked on the draining board, one struggles free
Slides to its doom, and then there were three
A baby's first dinner, mashed into goo,
Ends on the carpet, and then there were two
A meal in the microwave, cooked by the son:
Hadn't read the label, and then there was one
A plate for a flowerpot on the sill in the sun
The cat knocks it over, and then there are none
China gets broken, whatever we do
Love is unbreakable; love sees us through.
