I
This tart appliance
can turn on any bagel
in her hot embrace

II
Industrial strength
steel and heated copper coils
Pleasure perfected

Ah yes, my mind... Thank you! I have to ask, were you part of an english class or something sent to comment on this? Because I got quite a few comments on my "personification" in the same hour you did :P I'm just interested to know...
