(I don't know why this program has suddenly decided to double-space. Perhaps it is conspiring with my electric toothbrush)
Lawrence Hall, HSG
The Haunted Electric Toothbrush
This morning at dawn
I was alone
I heard a moan
A mysterious groan
A ceaseless drone
It wasn’t the ‘phone
It was my toothbrush
It had on its own
Turned itself on
My Philips Sonicare ™© and (legal protections in a peach tree) has done me good service for years. This morning it turned itself on atop a glass shelf with other little bottles of this and tubes of that, making an unusual moaning / groaning / droning that took me some time to sort out. It is a great device; when it finally hands in its lunch pail (as Bertie Wooster would say) I will buy another just like it.
