Have You Seen My Blue Widget?

When we first met, many years ago,

I had all my dirty blue widgets with me.

Then, as years passed, some of them got cleaned,

When you took them to that German laundry.

Some other widgets grew up and blossomed,

Turning themselves in those blue forget-me-not flowers we liked so much.

The last three widgets I wanted to keep for myself,

But their dirty blue color faded over time,

Letting me with three used, grey widgets,

Nobody would give two pennies for.

Do you think, if I left you

Would my dirty blue widgets be back again?
