This poem was inspired by how four different people loaded the dishwasher this weekend at Snow Mountain Ranch. Everytime I opened the dishwasher, I thought how badly it was loaded!
Loading the Dishwasher
More marriages break up over differences
in dishwasher loading,
he wants to put the bowls in the top rack,
she only wants the bowls in the lower,
wine glasses should never go in the dishwasher
she informs him coldly and he insists
no less rigidly that his knives with the
wooden handles must be washed by hand
and dried immediately. Every day, after
dinner, she clenches her teeth as she
moves the bowls from the upper rack to the
lower, takes out the wine glasses, her expression
turning to glee as she takes the clean knives
off the magnetic strip over the stove and puts
them in the dishwasher, until one day he
tells her he has filed for divorce,
over how she loads the dishwasher.

I am confused. I also thought bowls should be on the middle rack...
By the way, I am the owner of the patent for three racks dishwashers. I am on the verge of having a patent for single rack dishwashers granted. Long lasting marriages guaranteed.
