Across the Kitchen Floor.

Goldfinch60

 

Here I am shining like the star that I am;

Always ready for them to fill me up

And switch me on,

Never failing to boil;

And once boiled, the steamy water is poured

Into their pot of tea at the start of their day,

Making them ready for the day ahead.

 

 

Just look at him, over blown, over rated;

Thinks so much of himself

Just because he is first used in the day.

But I will have my way;

Just sitting here quietly;

I am ready at all times,

And yes, the time is now.

The coffee goes in, Columbian of course,

The water goes in and the switch goes on.

Slowly, languorously boiling water

Filters through the coffee into the pot.

 

We may be jealous of each other,

But we are both loved equally

By those who use us.

So a truce is always in place

Across the kitchen floor

    Good write Gold. lol

  • dusk arising

    Minor appliance tension in your domestic arrangements sir? Maybe it's time to show your appreciation of their dedication to please you. Give them a night on the tiles, yep the floor tiles.

    • dusk arising

      Just had a second thought. Has the coffee maker grounds for divorce?

      • Goldfinch60

        Yes it is only minor tension as I do talk gently to both of them to calm them down to ensure that they produce the best tea and coffee that they can, it seems to work - most of the time.

        Intervene - counselling - dispute resolution, conditional upon the complete fulfillment of their duties prior to appointments....
        Nice one Andy.
        PS Apologies - I got about halfway through this account, and couldn't believe it - not like you to put up disturbing material - so thought I had to intervene.....but by the end I realised that most of my above advice was redundant...

        • Goldfinch60

          Thanks Dave, no apologies required the counselling that I give them produces fine tea and coffee for me to drink.

          how creative, how fun
          erm - also, a little worrisome
          of all things
          having my kitchen appliances
          wage wars
          based on futile jealousy
          is a horror
          that might just - tip
          my sanity
          the other side of my mind's
          doorway
          to fathomably: rescuable, reality... lol
          thanks Andy

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you Mek, yes it is a shame but my encouragement to them both soon settles the disagreements.

            Good, write Andy.
            I will never make tea again without wondering - "Is the coffee pot pissed?"

            • Goldfinch60

              Thanks Jerry. All you need to do is talk gently to the coffee pot and all will be well.

              Not a coffee or tea guy myself, but a huge fan of well written poetry I am. ;
