I'VE HAD IT

This is it, I've had it!
You've finally done it now
You won't ever beat me again
I'll make it without you somehow.
I tried my best to help you
Your connection I tried to assist
then your power backfired
and believe me I am pissed!
I wrapped my hand around you
to secure you in the hole
and after what you did to me,
it's time for you to go.
You grabbed my fingers, mangling them,
and wouldn't let them out;
disregarding my painful cries
you tossed and beat them about.
Whipping mashed potatoes
should be a simple thing;
it can be done without you
and all the pain you bring.
Bye, Bye you little hand mixer
it's in the dump for you.
When I mash potatoes next
I'll whip them with a spoon!

Author’s Note: This was the second time I have gotten my fingers caught in that mixer, remember Sis? It is also going to be the last time... My dang fingers are lookin' crooked! LOL The moral of this story... don't stick your fingers in nothin' with a power cord!
