A toast to the toaster.

 TOASTER TALK

 

I’ll warm your waffles.

Your bagels will be beautifully done.

Your Pop Tarts will pop up.

I’ll toast your buns.

 

I’ll take your bread,

And turn it toasty brown.

People call me their Sunbeam.

I’m the toast of the town.

 

I’m spring loaded.

My elements built to last.

When you turn me on,

I get hot real fast.

 

I’m king of the kitchen,

But I don’t like to boast.

The day will come when I burn out,

And then I’m the one who’s toast.

You certainly do know how to take the most common of things and make them into something of humor, wish I could do that...-e- (hope you have been well, Mike)

We get some of our best ideas over breakfast!

My ToastMaster will beat your Sunbeam any old time. I was a smooth elevator operator long before your pop up popped out of a scrap metal bin … whippersnapper!

What a delightful poem about one of my best memories growing up!
There is something very heartwarming about toast in the morning.
It's funny, I used to ask my mom for 4 slices of toast with coffee.
I would add butter and, on occasion, some jelly.
But it was that "warm toast" that was my favorite.
Later, I graduated to bagels and English Muffins which are now my fav!
What about eggs? Eggs were a side-dish! The toast was the main course!
Thank you, Michael, for giving me something to smile about.

I raise a glass and toast to you! Well done!

John Michael

I miss my old toaster. My Wolfgang Puck doesn't do the job.

As a metaphor: Perhaps it's better to burn-out from repeated use than to rust-out from disregard and underuse. Peace... r

Very clever rendition of the toaster. You will never be just "toast", Michael. You are too funny for that designation.
