Pay phone two
Making connections local or long distance Operator, please. (Here is another haiku about this long-ago calling apparatus that one used to use. One needed exact change until there were what was to be known as calling cards and all one had to do was give their number to pay the call.)

Look who's calling?
Coins please, sir dial tone, dial number please look who's calling. (Not many of these phones left in society as whole. Remember when there were phone booths pretty much on each corner or so. Had to make sure you had enough change to use them though. I remember when people used dimes for a call, but actually when I had to use one it was a quarter for a few minutes. Sometimes you had to ask the operator to hold if you were looking for more change and if you couldn't you were disconnected.)

Stand-Up Mixer
Mix, blend, combine Ingredients added slow. Hoping for treats. (Once again, a haiku about a certain appliance that makes life easier. One that makes baking fun and enjoyable. Again, line one functions to what goes in a recipe line two and line three result. Please share your thoughts and if you like these haikus there will be a few more for everyday appliances.)

Microwave
Quick cooking, yes Minutes to seconds timing Microwave cooking, fast. (Oh, the microwave when you are hungry. Don't have time to use a stove and only have a few minutes the microwave for quick cooking in a few minutes and seconds and enjoy a quick meal and a dessert without going to fast food restaurants. An invention that does help those in a rush, but we should all just take our time for life is just too short.)

Washer & Dryer
Wash, Spin and Dry Round and round they go Clean clothes. (Just wanted to try something different, so I am going to write some odd haikus for various appliances around the house. Just for fun. I hope you share your thoughts. Line one dealt with function. Line 2 the action and Line 3 the result.)

Teddy bears
Who gives comfort at night or when alone a Teddy Bear do. (Who still has their favorite teddy bear stored away? To be honest I still do for he is packed in a box wrapped safely. He gave me comfort when I had a nightmare, and he was also something to talk to when I couldn't talk to anyone else. Teddy Bear what a great friend.)

Swinging
Back and forth you go higher and higher on living your life. (How would you describe swinging on a swing? I started out as if I was swinging as in line one 'back and forth' moving on to line two and as we get 'higher and higher' in all our various perspectives on how we are living our lives.) Please share your thoughts.

Doughnuts, again
A childhood treat that allows for many good times but tooth decay. (A just for fun haiku about sprinkle doughnuts and maybe even remembering all the various memories that these may bring about. During my childhood I really liked sprinkled doughnuts and milk. I had some good times when friends would come over, but after eating so many one may have to go to the dentist. Haha!)
