Ode to Appliances (Household Haiku)

Oh washing machine

Today you must be hungry

You’ve eaten my socks

Mighty microwave!

Nuke that burger! Zap those beans!

Feed me! Feed me NOW!

Voracious vacuum

Roaring, keening, consuming

Scares the cats to bits

My darling Keurig

Mornings start with you, my love

Hot, rich, sweet, life’s blood
