"Oho!" said the pot to the kettle;
     "You are dirty and ugly and black!
     Sure no one would think you were metal,
     Except when you're given a crack."

     "Not so! not so!" kettle said to the pot;
     "'Tis your own dirty image you see;
     For I am so clean – without blemish or blot –
     That your blackness is mirrored in me."
