Ode To A Dishwasher

Introduction

The challenge refers to the form being an Ode but doesn't specify that it has to use the Ode format. Of course, I will make sure that mine uses an Ode format, here is the Wikipedia definition which should give you an idea.

The Prompt

Write an ode to an ordinary object.

I am going to base it on this Pindaric Ode as I cannot really find a great definition of the form, though I believe I have tried it before. Essentially an Ode is meant to be a poem of praise. I know using a defined form will bar it from being chosen for the challenge but that is the way I roll (this is a joke Vocal, honest 🙂).

The music is "Wash, Mama, Wash" by Dr. John which refers to washing clothes but it is a great song.

Aye, I Used To Be Our Dishwasher

And Then We Got A Mechanical One

Now That's The Way Our Dishes Are Done

Suppose I Feel A Little Bit Posher

🍽️

Washes Dirty Dishes Overnight

Crockery Well Cleaned Feels So Right

When I Hear It Purring In The Background

That Is Such A Lovely Sound

Put Glasses In, They Come Out Clean And Clear
