.4. A Toast Poem by David Threadgold

I’d like to return this
I’ve got the receipt
The box and instructions
Are still fairly neat

The first time I tried it
Unable to use
A strong smell of burning
And blowing a fuse

After I’d changed it
The smell got no better
But the burning was stopped
When the toaster got wetter

So will you exchange it
For what I need most
A long handled fork
To make me some toast
