Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a peek, At the word “appliances,” something we all seek! The dictionary's got it, clear and bright, “An implement, instrument, or apparatus in sight!” Think of it this way, a clever little plea, To do a job for you, efficiently! It’s designed to help, with purpose true, A tool that works just right for me and you. Like a washing machine, spinning round and round, Or the fridge keeping food safe and sound! The stove and toaster – they all play their part, To make our meals delicious, a work of art! So "appliances" means things we use with care, To help us in our daily lives, beyond compare! Does that rhyme ring true? Any questions for me?
