Angel Chimes

We divvied out
The family jewels
 Sat in a circle
 On the dining room floor
When it was my turn
I chose
The silver water pitcher
My sister sighed
She could have chosen it
On the last go-round
 
The brass angel chimes
The ones we polished
Every year
Were nowhere
To be found
 
I would have chosen them
Instead
