We are surrounded by, and depend on, our gadgets. iPhones, Blackberries, iPads, music players... these and a thousand others populate our world and either delight or bedevil us. Let's haiku about them today!
Here is mine:

Three-pronged granny fork
ReplyDeleteMixes better than a whisk
And easy to clean
