Feel Up
“I feel quite down.”
My best friend said wearing a frown
So I fixed up a coffee cup
Then I told him “ try to feel up!”

Bastard!
Telling a person who is feeling down is like telling someone to grow back a leg.
Unless it was a lewd suggestion [grins]
Then again perhaps there is something zen here.
Did you sit quietly before him, patiently repairing a broken cup, in the process enhancing its beauty with its flaws?
