Bad Toaster.



At home we have a toaster
that won't do what it's s'posed ta.
It only toasts half the bread,
the other side is cold instead.
Midway through the toasting process
one has to turn the bread around.
I only do it under protest,
breakfast shouldn't make me frown.
It's stainless steel cool exterior
belies the fact that it's inferior.
The progress made when cooking Pop Tarts
can only be described as *ahem* stop start.
On it's side it says 'De Longhi'.
A better name? 'Too Fucking Long...y'.
