Story and glory

Story and glory

 

This shattered urn collected by a curiosity

Was said could exchange for an whole city

Much inquiry found its way far back home

To a chicken farmhouse of adobe dome

Whence as a pickle jar, broken by the wife

Eventually it ended its eventful long life

Then an archeologist studied hard to learn

Its story and glory, connecting many a dot

as the King’s vase, his concubine’s ash urn

Then dug out and later used as a chamber pot
