I want this framed and hung up in my kitchen. It almost (but only almost) makes me glad I don't have a dishwasher at my house.
I liked the contrasting rhythm of the long and short lines, and how blunt that made the shorter lines feel. There are a few lines that are significantly longer than the rest, like line seven. I wonder if it would flow a little better by taking out "definite" and reducing the syllable count there to match closer to the rest of the poem. This is just a thought.
Thanks for sharing this one. I enjoyed it.

I always know I am going to find fun with your wonderful posts. This was cute. LOL, I better knock on wood as mine is getting up there and age and it was either this one or the last one that my twenty year grandson climbed into and it leaked thru the door a little. However, we got it fixed and it is perfect. So I love your poem. So are so witty and entertaining. Thanks dear friend for the big smile!!

Your 20 yr old grandson climbed into your dishwasher???? How? there's no room. wow, your story is better than mine! :)
thanks, dear friend, for your neat comments. My new one gets here tomorrow - if all goes as planned - however, I can't budge from this house between 8 AM and 8 PM. Unless they come, of course. ha! Thanks again , Judy!

Oops, what I meant to say was when my twenty year old grandson was little he climbed into my dishwasher to be funny. LOL, no he wouldn't do that now. Haha! Amazing what I can screw up with the translation. No, I think he was two years old at the time. And I still have the dishwasher. A seal fixed the door from leaking and that baby still works great.
However I envy you for getting a new one. Enjoy!!

well, I'm glad YOURS does! the guy brought new one today but there was a problem with the shut off valve - couldn't budge it, so guess what? New dishwasher is sitting in my garage until I get a plumber to get it off and get a new on and install it. This guy said he could probably fix it but he's not allowed to do anything but install. Isn't that pathetic!!!!!!

Pome Lover: What a way to turn an unexpected, but not too surprising added expense into a muse...Been there; done that...Probably should have bought the dang T-shirt. The rhyming is superbly functional, but the
ending is simply, onomatopoeia:) teafor2

thanks! I'll have to say, I used to know the meaning of that word, but, sniff, I had to look it up. Well, they say confession is good for the soul. What is so neat, though, is your calling "Click" an onomatopoeia!!! Love it.
Thanks again,
Katharine

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
I do understand your problem. This would be more amusing if it didn't happen to me every now and then. This is my second dishwasher in 20 years. I thought they had more life in them.

Some people have even admitted that they are now being made to only last a short period of time. It's like the smaller bags of chips, etc for higher prices.
Comment from T B Botts
Hello Katharine,
I had a similar situation with my garage door opener. I looked at the manual, did what it said- nothing. I watched a You tube video, did what it said- nothing. I called the repair guy- $145.00- he did the same things I did, it works just fine. He felt guilty because it took about two minutes yet he still had to charge the minimum, so he did a little maintenance. I hope you can get it fixed gal without too much trouble. Did you check out You tube to see if there is an easy fix? Hope so.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Tom, you do make me laugh. And I'm sorry because it really isn't funny.
No, I didn't because for one thing it's almost 20 years old, and once I got the door to close I ran it twice and both times found the soap pod still untouched. So it's time. But your story is funny to hear, though I'm sure it wasn't, really. I have to say, though, that i was a bit upset that the cost of installing and removing the old one is almost as much as the machine, itself.

This was a funny story in poem form, and I think it's something we can all relate to at times. I thought your author's notes were fun, too. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

I guess the dishwasher had the last laugh, at your expense. Cute poem. My sewing machine wasn't working. Took it in for repair and maintenance. The guy plugged it in and it worked fine, Good luck in the competition.
