Ode to my washing machine SOLC #5

I'm a huge fan of Jack Prelutsky's poetry.  One of his poems, Homework! Oh, Homework! popped into my head tonight as I ran my third load of laundry.  The rhythm of his poem inspired me to write about how much I love my washing machine.

Washer, oh, washer, 
I love you!  It's true!
Your spinning and cycling 
keep my jeans dark blue.
If all of my troubles 
could be scrubbed away,
I'd put them in you, washer, 
every single day!

Washer, oh, washer,
I love you!  You make
laundry a task I can easily take.
I fill up the soap,
I shove in the clothes, 
Lovely scents of detergent
fill up my nose!

Washer, oh, washer,
I love you!  Don't stop!
Keep filling with water
and bubbles that pop.
I can leave you alone
to work on your own.
Washer, oh, washer,
Without you, I'd groan!

Does anyone else adore one of their appliances?  :)
