This made me laugh. Clever and funny !! Thank goodness for my garbage disposal, I tell her everyday. Be careful of the silverware I always have to say.

Thank you! Glad I could bring you a laugh. Now write a poem about telling your garbage disposal to be careful of the silver.

So darn funny! Robert Fulgham wrote about his teenage fear of having kitchen duty and being stuck /w the cleaning the "sludge" It's hysterical. I might copy your poem and tape it to the wall above the kitchen sink. Would someone confess? It's so cute and funny. I love your poem.
