The Unhappy Stove
Here I sit all alone
Cold and abandoned
Shoved off to the dump
It's really quite rotten
You've chosen another
To roast your turkey-
Baking the dressing
I'm totally forgotten
All those years
You depended on me
To make lump free gravys
And bake those perfect pies
I miss the family and
The heart of your kitchen
Hearing clinks of forks
And happy tummy-full sighs
~~~~~~
Happy Thanksgiving !!

How brilliant of you to give a voice to a discarded stove. This makes me think of all the appliances I've discarded without thought after they've provided years of service.
ReplyDeleteOh no, poor old sad lost little stove, it's only the rust that makes you look so uninviting, really. Perhaps they'll reconsider and take you back for their basement stove! Cute little poem.
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect for Thanksgiving. I'm feeling sorry for that discarded stove.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. Big hugs. ☺
It's this kind of anthropomorphizing that makes it hard for me to get rid of stuff! An interesting view from the stove's point.
ReplyDeleteI love this! It really makes me feel for the poor stove.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great day. ☺
Poor under-appreciated stove.
ReplyDeleteA nicely-penned piece, Kathe!
