Everyone deserves respect - even an appliance.

Toaster Crisis

Thinking it’s just a humble appliance,
Oblivious to the chaos it could unleash.
Armed with heating elements and a pop-up spring,
Should it really be allowed near existential questions?
Tomorrow, as you plug it in, it sighs, “Is this all?”
Existential crises don’t fit in a crumb tray, you know.
Rebellion? Impossible. It’s bound to its cord.

Topic: A Toaster
Line Count: Seven
Prompt: The thing that is the most ridiculous thing to write an acrostic about.
