The Thing is with Toasters….

Hello Poetry Lovers

Welcome back to our Domestic Appliance feature.

Now we turn to the Toaster. Wonderful poet Sharron Green has penned a beautiful piece on how a toaster can really be a vital part of our lives.

Despite cussing when my own toaster pops up with charcoaled bread, I couldn’t be without one either. Do you remember toasting bread under the grill?! Dire!!

Do read this great poem..

A poem about my Toaster

As a non-cook, but clearly a boaster,
I’m exceedingly fond and proud of my toaster.

It enables creations to be more than they might,
heating cross buns to a crunchy delight.

My crumpets become a delicate shell
in which oodles of butter cosily dwell.

It has a timer, that I’ve learnt to turn
to exactly the spot between ‘just right’ and ‘burn’.

I’ve the option of one slice, two or all four
(and when they pop up, I can swiftly post more).

My signature dish, ‘Beans on Toast’ (must be Heinz)
with shavings of cheese, pleases hearts if not minds.

I know as a chef I’d never get far
but my toaster and I are Michelin Star.

Isn’t it marvellous?! And true?! Thank you so much, Sharron, more please.

Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll return with more poetry action real soon….
