Premium Memberbreak-up Senryus

Quick break-up Senryus.
Pick one to quickly, cut that old
relationship cord:

I'm sorry, say what?
I can't hear you (confused look)
- we’re breaking up.

You’re the guy that
every girl at our school wants
- it's their lucky day.

It's time that we took
our relationship to the
previous level.

I still cherish the
initial misconceptions
I had about you.
.

Songs for this:
Lovefool by The Cardigans
Nothing Can Stop

Premium MemberA ROAST TO THE TOASTER

ROAST TO THE TOASTER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
toaster, warmth you bring,
golden crusts greet morning light,
sunrise in my hand.

slots are welcoming
embrace bread with gentleness,
toasting it with ease.

each slice meets your heat,
a transformation occurs,
soft to crisp delight..

you're more than a tool,
symbol of comfort, routine,
part of daily life.

here's to you, toaster.
may your coils always glow bright,
filled with a slice white.
