It's been a year since we last had a poetry contest/rhyme-off. I think it would be appropriate to have the second annual Poetry Showetry! Yay! This year's theme:
This artistic advertisement for the Morris Panych play The Dishwashers. You could write a poem, a few lines of dialog that you think would be in a play with this title (rhyming or not), or anything else that comes to mind, like the ever-popular haiku. Enjoy!

Must said poems be related to the play, or do they just need to have something to do with dishwashers?
With dishwashers. I have no idea what this play is actually about, and I frankly don't care to find out. (!) Feel free to make up your own plot or anything like that.
Dishwashers.
Are dumb.
When I grow up,
I'm going to abolish
them.
Sheila....hehe. Wow. :D
Dishwashers.
People or machines?
You'll never know.
That's my modern skeptical take on dishwashers. Not very profound.
Dishwashers.
Thank God for them,
People and machines.
That's my Catholic take on them.
Dishwashers,
Fish-watchers,
Cats in the kitchen.
They'll clean off your plates
then eat pets with fins.
No one in my family is very impressed. Ha ha!
An ode to Hobie
You make life grand
On the bluff above the sand.
Our dishes- how they sparkle!
Not like the job of Bob McSnarkle.
Oh Hobie! We love thee!
And you've graced our chores with ease.
No one has to ask: WHAT WENT WRONG?
I love it Madeline! *sigh* I seriously miss Barnabas!
Okay, a haiku. (I love those.)
Dishwashers rock hard.
They make life easy, because
washing by hand sucks.
Wow, that was fun. I would write a limerick, but what the heck rhymes with "dishwasher"? I'm not *that* creative.
An Ode To My Old Dishwasher
Oh, my old dishwasher of North Park Drive,
Working with you just made me thrive.
Our dishwasher now is such a bore
That working with him is quite a chore.
Would that I were back with you again
Oh yeah, that would make me sing.
Bing, that last line really made the poem. ;) Again - sing. I like it though!
Thanks, Em!
Haha! WHAT WENT WRONG? *dun dun dun* *chortle* I seriously miss Barnabas, too, Ems. :( Next year, we're totally going to be on club again.
Washing by hand does not suck! It's the best! I love doing dishes. Me and my tennis coach were talking this morning about how dumb dishwashers are. Yeah. I basically already summed up my feelings on this subject.
Well, looks like it's my turn!
SAVE THE PLATES! by Toad
O soiled, defiled plate!
What shall I do for thy grimy fate?
Perhaps if I'm jocular,
I'll set the tick-tockular,
And settle you in the dishwashular!
Then I'll have time to kill,
As you turn soapy, but still
are covered with all sorts of
left-over, crumbulous grub
that not even Glutt'ny itself could love.
After one-point-two-six-six hours
You, plate, once deflowered,
Will rise out of the 'washer,
Glistening, and once again Kosher
and clean. Thanks, dishwasher.
Hermes....... wow. :D I love that from you! What a fabulous set of words in rhyme!
Bing and Claire, do they teach you such wonderful slant rhymes at college? If only I were so talented!
Bing and Claire,
I apologize for putting my three dumpy poems up here when yours' are so stellar.
But, I'm still keeping them up. :)

Haha!!! Those are great! Poetry is one of those things that I'm just really not good at... I would get some pretty odd looks if I tried too, most likely.
Haha...
I've never claimed to be good at poetry.
See example above.
Rose, it's okay. This all just for fun anyways. Randomness and goofiness are definitely acceptable.
To the tune of "Bicycle Race" by Queen:
Dishwasher! Dishwasher! Dishwasher!
I want to load my dishwasher,
I want to load my dish.
I want to load my dishwa-asher!
I want to load it when I wish!
(That's as far as I got.)
Claire, that brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. Thank you for being so wonderful!
Haha! Thanks, Fifi. You bring a tear to me eye. I hope you're praying your nose off for me to do well on my physics final on Wed morning. I have no idea how to study for it. It's kind of overwhelming. Anyway, I love you a lot/I look forward to eating cookies with you... soon!
