My home appliances senile,
Like me, they're now somewhat frail and fragile.
Eighteen years ago
When I bought the apartment in the condo,
The four major appliances --
The fridge, range, washer and dryer --
Were compliments of the developer.
Yesterday, my trusted range refused to work suddenly;
My Superintendent true
Without much ado,
Quickly sent me
From YouTube videos three
On how to fix the control knob.
I became a handyman, inspired instantly.
After the loose screws tightening,
The range is working again!
I do like all my home appliances --
Like seniors, they need Tender Loving Care;
Now, they're quite sensitive to normal wear and tear.
So I've decided to half their workload,
In the hope that they'd accompany me
On my life-long journey.
