Ode to my Magic Bullet

I will admit, once or twice I scoffed at the infomercials.

I was intrigued at the whirring of your little engine,

but I failed to see 

what you could become to me.

But then I saw you on sale at Costco.

I have an urge to by anything on sale, at Costco.

Regardless if I needed it, or not so

much.

I remember the first time I plugged you in.

Wait, I didn't. My son, Alex, had the honors.

He wanted iced coffee.

In a plastic cup, you served.

Finally I had a chance to use you.

To figure you out.
What you liked, what you didn't.

What you excelled at.

And what you failed at.

You make my mornings easy,

Because of you I am able to

start my day off right.

A quick protein shake,

to make me feel full, yet lite.

It's not just me you please...

The husband loves his strawberries squeezed

and with a little sugar added,

perfect to atop a slice of angel food cake.

Thank you, Magic Bullet...

for everything you do.

For everything you are.

We love you.
