Poem of the Day - Part 76

I'm a Little Teapot

I'm a Little Teapot was a song written by George Sanders and Clarence Kelley in 1939.  Kelley ran a dance school for children, and I'm a Little Teapot provided a routine of minimal difficulty for the younger children.  The song was recorded and played on the radio, and it became a hit.  In 1941 Newsweek called it "the next inane novelty song to sweep the country."

My interpretation of the lyrics is for a slightly older generation.

I'm a little teapot short and stout.

Note: I got this photo from Vellohomo (gracias, Franco) as a black-and-white photo, which I colorized.

Here is my handle

And here is my spout.
