O Toaster, My Toaster by ~marimoface:iconmarimoface:



O Toaster! my toaster! our golden toast is done;
The bread has suffered all your heat, the meal I sought is burnt;
The jam is near, the butter closer, and now it's time for breakfast,
While steady hands spread the goodness, evenly, so it will last:
But O tea! tea! tea!
O the dripping drops of milk,
In the cup where my Earl Gray rests,
Piping hot and still.

O Toaster! my toaster! heat up and make my food;
Heat up- for my waffles and toast; for my poptarts, bagels;
For my tasty toaster strudels- for my soft English muffins;
For my breakfast, to soothe hunger, my grumbling, sore belly;
Here Stomach! dear tummy!
This food to fill you up;
To feed your hungry appetite
Before I'm starved and dead.

My toaster does not answer, my lips merely tremble;
My oven hardly feels my angst, my worry or concern;
The toast is buttered, jammed, and warm, its prepping closed and done;
From simple bread, the heated meal, comes in with golden skin;
Inhale, that smell, and feel, that crunch!
And I, with willing glee,
Eat the good my toaster made,
Tasty toasted bread.

So while i've been slugging away at ... everything I need to do... in my Creative Writing class, we've just been finishing up our poetry section (which I despised intensely :iconimhappyplz:) and have moved on to parodies. Being a huge fan of Dead Poets Society, I decided to write up a little parody on "O Captain! My Captain!" by Walk Whitman, who is quite brilliant.

This will probably be my first and last poetry submission on dA xDD. Enjoy.

Dead Poet's Society. OMG! :D
We watched that in a middle school English class I was in several years ago, and my class all loved it so much. We were like "Heey, we need to make a group like that..."

Toasters are awesome, no doubt. But sometimes, I cut the bread too fat, so I resort to the microwave :(

LOL, MY CLASS IS JUST NOW STUDYING POETRY AGAIN. WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

Soft melodies mixing in with loud tunes, jumbling into a messy but beautiful piece; in that way music is life.

LOL what the hell?

My reflection,
dirty mirror,
there's no connection,
to myself.
I'm your lover,
I'm a Zero.

I'm a face in your dreams of glass.

I love toasters. I make everything in them... except bagels.

Do microwaves actually work?! :O I just kinda always overheat them and they get all hot and soft...

LAWL, HOW UNCANNY! I'm so glad we're done OTL I have never been a big fan of poetry, so while everyone in my class was writing about angst, I wrote about ninjas. No lie.

Best. Movie. EVER. It's fantastic. I had this crazy urge to make a group like that, too, then remembered that I dreadfully hate poetry >D.

Fun fact: My English teacher from sophomore year actually is in the movie for a very small part in the beginning. I think I almost flipped out when she told us xD
