My salad spinner
Took off on me today
Flew across the kitchen
Smashed into a tray
Brought dishes down
As it flew by
But the lettuce is dry

Lol funny, good inventions with good intentions, but alas lettuce pray for no disasters
Haha... at least the lettuce was dry.
im sure we all have had a kitchen catastrophe at one time,nice one it made me laugh

an apt metaphor for so much about life, reminds me of the opening stanza to Sylvia Plath's poem 'Cut':
'What a thrill -
My thumb instead of an onion.
The top quite gone
Except for a sort of hinge'

Well can't say I was thinking metaphor as I chased it across the room......... ha! But I'm glad you make me sound smarter than I am..... thank you.
Perfect timing for me and brought back memories of kid... Spinning it so fast and throwing anything on, to watch it fly off!
Really appreciated!
Gave me a chuckle x
Lorna -That was a "Little Gem" - a popular variety of lettuce grown by gardeners in UK! I grow them in my grenhouse but mine stay put in their pots.
It's pitiable what I find for inspiration these days...........
