Premium Member Goldfish fighting in my dishwasher
I'm slowly evaporating from this verbal tennis match For some reason we continue to give breath to these vapor windy circles Brewing a coffee tornado that is going to spill all over my shirt And they say don't cry over spilled milk, but there's a river of rain I've been holding back And I'll be damned if I...

Sludge Behind the Dishwasher
As the weather chooses its flavour for the hour, Stubble-ended wood shaves itself on the layers of unseen ground. Synthetic puke seeps through pores seeking to devour Every tiny, curled hair floating in the murk around and around. Pool party skies reside a millimeter higher than the tallest fingertip: Leftovers infect this mass of last meals passed on. A spindle of...

I have an Ultra Quiet with a whir. Frigidaire 24" Built-In White Dishwasher, Energy saver, with hot and cold stir. For a while it did purr. Oh yes, they do make a dishwasher. Naïve people believe what labels sell. I use a lemon scent liquid gel Those states; "No" pre-washing, Leaves dishes sparkling. All lies, it makes the dishes look like hell. I have hard...

Premium Member Ode To a Dishwasher
In my small kitchen she sits Simple and plain My mechanical maid Who never complains Who takes cups and plates laid On her long arms with ease And returns every one Scrubbed clean of grease Because I am NOT at the sink, wrists plunged in grime I have precious time - and peace of mind - To fashion and design these meandering lines This is the...

Dishwasher
The dishwasher watches, waits confounded as knuckles redden and waterlogged fingers scrub and rub in a slick soapy dance. Later I will explain to the machine that it was made by atheists to replace prayer. Meanwhile bubbles pop their silent hallelujahs. Hands toil at their holy work....

I was dancing and prancing And singing whooped Dee Dee Not realizing I was not alone Until he opened his shirt to me He threw out the mayo, some jam and some jelly, a real hoot. I caught the chocolate milk in midair, he was dancing up a toot. He laughed and winked and some ice fell down his crushed...

Once there was a dishwasher leak That went on and on for a week It flooded the clean floor Sorrow ran in the door The situation looked so bleak The pit bull bit the wife when she hand fed Naughty devil in disguise watched as she bled Now the old husband is retired He is caught in the line of...

The Dishwasher - a Tribute To a Major Appliance Poetry Contest
I really love the dishwasher And so does Mum and Dad! We filled it after every meal, Until one day I heard a squeal! Water had poured all over the floor But hadn’t made it under the door! Until the appliance was in the pink Dishes were washed in the sink. That really was not much fun, It’s fair to say it was none! Dishwashers...

I'm an Ultra Quiet with a whir Frigidaire 24” Built-In White Dishwasher Energy saver With hot and cold stir Oh yes they do make a dishwasher I’m getting so old they just don't know They think I can do the job like a pro Baskets are crumbling Rust on everything I'm ready to blow and overflow Naive people believe what labels sell They use a...

The Poor Dishwasher - Contest
I am here behind a closed door Looking clean and gleaming Oh my what is that smell I just got a whiff smells like curry hope I am dreaming They won't knock of the excess from the plate The rice gets in my tubes and makes me hick up The smell makes my motor lurch Before you stack them, I shout, scrape...

The Dishwasher
Tom the Dishwasher Hand wash each time Place in drainboard, Always forget the gloves, Hands get greasy, yuck, slime! Drainboard sits on my Electric dishwasher, Used once in two years, Just what is packed, Between my ears? Maybe cause the paper plates and plastic utensils Didn't fare so well, Oh, you know how weird Is Tom Bell Should'a put a pinball Machine, in that slot, Play the Who's Tommy, Bet I'd play real...
