Ode to the Toaster
by Jennifer L BanksI lean on the counter
Barely awake
Waiting for that single slice
Of bread to bake
This little silver box
Is my morning friend
As I wait for the pop
That says its done, the end.
The coffee, tis brewing
My thoughts, manically spewing
As I watch the red coils brown each side
Crisping, tanning, the sourdough hide
Why toasters take so long
I dont know
Or are we such a nation now
Forever on the go?
Two minutes for edible perfection
And then out the door to meet
My meager job connection
Two minutes seems like forever
You write an Ode to the toaster
And you dont care if its clever.
