An Ode to My Toaster
by Shonda CreemerI have a shiny toaster
He sits upon my shelf
Just waiting for his slice of life
But all I have to offer is myself
He takes me in one piece at a time
Radiating his warmth all around
Then he pops me out so quick it burns
Laughing at what he has found
But in my moments inside him
Surrounded by his glow
I finally felt what I knew to be true
His setting was never too low!
So I place my shiny toaster
Back upon the shelf
Taking him down ever so often
Keeping him all to myself
