DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

We have seen the future, and it sucks.

Ode to the Microwave

29th April 2024

The New Neo.

Leftovers used to be a chore
Heating them up, a tedious bore.
On a stove in a little pot
And then you’d burn em, like as not.

Then a million years ago
Came microwaves. At first, you know
We tried to cook in them instead.
“This is not so good,” we often said.

But finally the truth got clear
As we all got our acts in gear
And saw that in the acid test
The microwave was at its best

With leftovers. A problem solved.
Just pop ’em in. Don’t be involved
With pots and pans and burnt-on food
No need to fuss, no need to brood.

And we forget that olden day
As though it’s always been this way.
Don’t take for granted the largesse –
The microwave is true progress.
