Definition: A concave vessel for drinking from, usually made of opaque material (as opposed to a glass) and with a handle.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look!
We’ve got a word today, quite simple you see,
“Cups” – let's break it down for you and me.
The dictionary tells us, clear as can be,
"A concave vessel…for drinking, you agree?"
(Imagine a bowl, slightly curved in the middle, my dears,)
That’s “concave,” it shows us, banishing fears!
It's meant to hold liquid, a delightful treat,
And usually made of things that aren't quite sweet –
Like ceramic or plastic, maybe even tin,
(Not clear glass, like a goblet within!)
And look at this detail, important and true,
A handle for holding, just for you!
So “cups” are containers, sturdy and bright,
Perfect for sipping, morning, noon, or night!
