Life and Times of Burnt Toast Boy

By Marissa Helen Stoll

His father was a toaster, his mother whole wheat; and he was the burnt toast that no one would eat

Then came along Monday’s garbage man who whisked them away to his public wasteland

Everything was wonderful until the mold spread; instead of being happy together now they're both dead
