Poem Title:
Poem
One Enduring Stove A tribute to a major appliance I am tough, hard working, good looking, and blend well with my neighbors. I come in various colors with different compartments and choices in sizes I am not perfect, because like everything else, I’m not made to last forever. But just think about it; When have you seen me broken down and useless? I will be there when you need me, serve you for years, and keep you fed. I can be low tech or high tech; but I make you proud and happy regardless. I am versatile, enabling you to utilize gas or electric; even wood if you prefer. I have three good neighbors, one of whom washes after meals and one who refrigerates. My other good neighbor is a friendly freezer who’s able to store food for a very long time. I don't mean to brag, but if I may say so myself, I really think that I am the most important of the four of us. Let’s face it. When we are talking about gathering for the family meal, it’s me you think about. O, you can smoke a turkey without me; but if I were you, I would not do thanksgiving without me. I can bake, barbecue, boil, broil, fry, or even steam; I can also deliver it rare, medium, or well done. I know that one can eat fruits, nuts, and some healthy vegetables right out of their back yard garden; and there are many fresh things one may choose to eat without heating or cooking. However, if you really want to sit down as a family and enjoy a great and memorable meal, you really need me. I know that I am primarily thought of as a cooking appliance, but that’s not all I’m good for. In the winter, while I’m cooking your tasty meals, I’m also assisting in keeping your home nice and warm. 09102015 PS Contest, Any Poem Written On Your Birthday, Laura Loo, 4P
