There you sit upon a special shelf Designed and built just for yourself You light up when I open your door You are a dream! Who could ask for more? Little boxes in red and blue Filled with goodies, are placed in you Your glass plate spins slowly around Your buzzing song is a soothing sound No longer do I chop and grate To get my food from recipe to plate Where were you when I stood and stirred While blender blended and chopper whirred? do you know what have you done You made all my cooking fast and fun You give so much, I wish I’d have known With you I’d have so much more time alone |

So - How come every microwave has different directions?... It takes a rocket scientist to figure out how to make them work if you lose the little book that goes with them... This is great, PdV - You do know how to nuke up a fine poetic plate...  |

Just a note, some free advice, (You must admit, a perfect price) Don't dry your socks or underwear, In your microwave, or you might swear, At least I did, before they came, (the firemen) who doused the flame. Please don't feel, too badly for me, At least with the firemen, some company!!! I realize, things could be worse, You might up and read this verse. But I liked yours, it brought a grin, In a poetic race, I'd call it a win. |

Thank you all! I think I was trying to say that although I now have more free time, I'm still spending it alone! If only my Microwave was a man!  |

Most men ARE like microwaves, press the right buttons and in 2 minutes we're done! PdV! You slay me lady! Although I feel for you being alone, if it means we get more of you here, I cannot help but to be a little glad for it. Selfish ain't I?  Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. |

LOL I love this, Sharon. And, the replies are delightful, too. By the way, I do love my microwave. It comes in handy a lot of times. Hope you don't have to keep being lonely for very long, either.  Hugs, Ethel |

Into the cavern that opened so easily I plopped a bag hoped it would not cook greasely the spin of your table the whir of your fan played to the sounds that someplaces ban In ending your cycle with a sharp little ding it was popcorn for all who know how to use this darned simple thing |

Now that was cute and trust me I would give up my kids before my microwave! I get the part about about having more time but still being alone too, that really sucks! Wish there was a manual on "How To Get A Life" too. |

This is adorable. If your microwave was a man, it would leave it's underwear in the living room, take the remote and never give it back, and make rude noises when your friends come over. It would NOT be a labor-saving device, so be grateful. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

I was wondering if anyone would really notice the last lines. . . you should have kept it a secret for a little while longer. . .  great work here. . .now, how about a whole series dedicated to kitchen appliances??  --------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

 (sigh) I love microwaves too, except I am not fond of them TV dinners, Stouffers, Sara Lee, whatever...need a nice home-cooked meal! (big hugggsssssss) What a great invention it is, now to heat up some minestrone, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Thank you all. You know I always try to challenge myself to write something deep about something mundane. I do appreciate that you 'get me'! |

Wow. I trotted right through this little ditty, enjoying the fun nature of it...and then tripped over a big root in that last line. I love poetry like that...you suprised me and I was so not ready for it. And the nature of the suprise was so strong and meaninful...and it actually made me feel a bit teary. This is amazing...not what I thought I'd find at all. Well done. ~DW~ |
