If My Stove Could Talk-Tribute To a Major Appliance

Oh My Gosh! What’s the matter with you? You could be squatting outside over a fire! So you have to clean me once in awhile…big deal! I slave for you with never a thank you. Turn a knob and I heat your fancy pans.. I simmer, I boil, I bake for hours… And what do I get in return…whining about the new self cleaning ovens…stainless steel the big “I have to have”! I may be plain but I never let you down. and yet…you sigh whenever you have to wipe a spill. So who's fault it that? You’re the one who was gossiping on the phone.. Not my fault! I hate to be the one to tell you..but You’re A Crummy Cook!”..I do my best but you’ve got to follow a recipe…you’re not a natural!.. Awwwhhh, forget it I’m tired. You don’t listen anyway… Who cares if you order take out tomorrow… Not me, that’s for sure…

I like your winning poem. So true too...Rodney Dangerfield probably got more respect than an appliance.

Great take on this theme...I never realized how much take out meant to my family, since we never got it very often. But to hear the stove tell me, now that was something I never expected. Great write and congratulations on your win.
