My name is Toaster,
My preferred word is “Ding!”
And every breakfast,
The bread comes, visiting.

They never stay long,
Perhaps it’s just too hot.
I wish a minute
A time they will stay not.

Giant, fleshy hands
Come with a knife and plate,
Taking them away.
Another morning, I wait.


My name is Toaster,
My preferred word is “Ding!”
And every breakfast,
“Tick,” each second, I sing.

That timer beside
The humans always turn
Then when my song’s done,
They check the bread for burns.

What happens to toast,
That morning company?
Well, humans eat them,
A horrid sight to see.

My name is Toaster,
My preferred word is “Ding!”
And every breakfast,
The bread meets its doom,

And that need not rhyme.

EDIT: Seeing as people like it, okay, not really bad... Just feels like it because it's so outlandish and strange and even if I looked at it a thousand times I noticed that there's a seventh syllable on the 12th stanza. NOT GOOD. :C



This is for Inkwell, the delicious Creative Writing club of our school. 8D Our task: make a poem of what life would be like from the view of an ordinary household appliance.

well, I love bread. And since on Neopets I had my Toaster-techo, Nikello, who ever so often would squeak a "Ding!" it was quick inspiration for the first few stanzas~



Anyways, enjoy everyone!
