Poetic Asides...November 21

Prompt...invention

If necessity is the mother of invention
then the following need to be invented
a device on cell phones to self destruct if
used in a church concert hall or cinema
a device on washing machines to ward off
the odd sock thief a self cleaning toaster
an applied harmless cream that strips off
weight in 24 hours and while we're at it
a reinvention of genesis where Adam is
the dill who eats the apple and Eve refuses
to join in because she is too smart .
