i love toast

I came upon this poem that I wrote in the original (well maybe not quite original) version of ilovetoast.com.  I used to run it as a forum and a couple of mad dudes came along and started posting lots of toast nonsense – MartianV and MavWayne I seem to recall were their logins.

“What’s your obsession with Toast,”
she asked as we sipped on our drinks in the bar.
“Its so tasty and versatile and healthy and sexy,
ummmm, sorry, I think I just took that too far.”

But out of this chat, a website was born,
I Love Toast was the name
Some others were thought of, there in the bar
but this stuck as a catchy domain.

So many years passed alone on the web,
with a rare visitor once in a while,
until April two thousand and seven,
the signups all came in a pile.

So I welcome you all from wherever you live
and for believing, like me, in this boast -
That whenever there is a space in your life,
you can always fill it with Toast
