Microwave Oven

Microwave oven
You’re so unconventional
Bombarding my food with
Electromagnetic radiation
It sure is a long way
From roasting chestnuts
On an open fire

You’re good at reheating
Not so good at caramelizing
It’s not surprising
That foodies don’t respect you
Microwave oven
Your magnetron’s your most important part

Invented by New Englander Perry Spencer
The Raytheon corporation filed your patent
I close your door and then the magic happens
As polarized molecules inside my food
Start to rotate resulting in thermal energy

Microwave oven
You’re awfully economical
It’s almost comical
How quickly you make ramen noodles
Microwave oven
You make a noise to let me know you’re done
It’s time to eat, the food is done
It might be hot, don’t burn your tongue
