Fighting Over The Toaster...[ Dedicated To A Clever P-H Friend, Kim Barney, And To My Wife; Heat; Winter ]
poem to follow.....?
Here go my 10 fingers, furiously-flying,
from over the toaster, not the pan, "frying".
I thought it'd be longer before I'd get to this,
but I was prompted by Kim's comments.IOhim a kiss!
Yes, before advancing this "work" past the question mark,
my PH friend Kim Barney,3 comments, on poem's page did park.
It's true! I should now finish up before my lines run out of room,
so I'd better explain the title and then skedaddle. Vroom...vroom! !
Kim guessed, correctly; the 'fighting over toaster' relates to heat.
In our cold house, to toaster my frosted-fingers, my wife's, beat.
It's only fair, as it's SHE ** who keeps the house furnace OFF!
[In fairness, she's a good(?) reason, so don't U scoff.]

Regretfully, I admit that I submitted this with "HER" where "SHE" is correct.It IS "her" furnace, but it IS "she" who keeps it off recently, keeping the house temperature in February in the low to mid 50 degrees F range.Kim Barney pointed out my error.
Thanks, Kim! As your reward, I added "A Clever" to the title.

OH! ! i forgot that i left the above sentence when i submitted
my "un-done-poem" a 'few' days ago. So, maybe Kim isn't as intuitive as i thought after reading one of his premature comments! !

4) When I left my other three comments, Bri had not written the poem yet. All he had was that first line: poem to follow.....? That's why I said it was short and sweet, with no wasted words. plus all he had for the title was: Fighting Over The Toaster He did not dedicate the poem to me until after I had made those three comments. Thanks, Bri. I don't get many things dedicated to me!
Hey, you have given me an idea! I'm going to take all of my favorite poem titles that don't have poems written yet to go with them, and do the same thing you have done here!
Hypothermia? Is it cold there? We have a balmy 21 degrees Fahrenheit here!
A wonderful poem, Bri! Short and sweet, with no wasted crumbs - - oops, I mean words! Anxiously awaiting the sequel: Gimme my share of the covers!

5) Oh, by the way, since you are always correcting the grammar in other people's poems, I am legally obligated to tell you that in the penultimate line, you should have used SHE instead of HER. HER didn't do it, did HER?
Regretfully, I admit that I submitted this with " HER" where " SHE" is correct. It IS " her" furnace, but it IS " she" who keeps it off recently, keeping the house temperature in February in the low to mid 50 degrees F range. Kim Barney pointed out my error. Thanks, Kim! As your reward, I added " A Clever" to the title. bri :)
