Toast at Last

I use my toaster oven almost Every single day. A toasted bagel starts me off In just the perfect way. But lately, it’s been taking Way too long to get things hot And to close the door, you have to Give it everything you’ve got. This morning signaled its demise; The door is stuck ajar, The final culmination proving It’s not up to par. But there’s no need to wallow In a crumb tray filled with sorrow, For Amazon will send a new Replacement by tomorrow!

Ak, modernity is its advantages! I just got my newst Apple computer delivered, and right on time as promised. Now a friend will set it up for me and my daily frustrations with the old clunker I've been using for th last five years will calm my nerves – for another five years I hope! / Maurice

Thank goodness you can get another. I liked this poem, even though I only have a plain toaster. Your poems of everyday dilemmas are fabulous.
