Name: Dishwasher, You Have Broken
Duration: P00H03M56S
Description: This one was inspired by a weekly Soul Writers song prompt "something wicked" and a dishwasher that was making an alarming noise. For the record, my husband did fix the problem that was causing the weird noise, but then the door handle broke for good later that week. So that dishwasher is alas no more.

lyrics

Dishwasher, You Have Broken

Copyright 2017 by Mary Crowell

Something wicked in the kitchen

Our dishwasher’s clickin’. Oh! It’s twitchin’.

‘Wond’ring if someone’s done bewitched it

My true love says he’ll try to fix it.

But what’s that greenish glow?

Frightening, I know—right?

Mm mm mm mm . . .

Cooking eggs up over easy.

The bacon juice is hot and greasy—

That sound behind me. I’m uneasy

Can we repair it easy peasy?

A portal opens, so.

I’ve gotten scared, you know? Right.

Chorus:

Dishwasher, you have broken.

Dishwasher, I’m not joking.

You can’t be bringing Deep Ones here, by gosh.

This bad behavior just won’t wash.

Dishwasher, Dishwasher, Dishwasher, Oh.

Warranties don’t cover portals,

Incursions by malign immortals.

I’m on hold and getting bored. In-

-fernal thing, why do you chortle?

The dangers you impose,

Mean we must now be foes.

Chorus

Something wicked in our kitchen.

The damned thing needs some love and fixin’

Or else a hammer—get my licks in.

‘Hear cackles now—donner, blitzen.

We’ll get a new one so,

I think this one can go.

Chorus

The King's Lute
by Cat Faber

The lyrics are brilliant and vocal arrangements irresistible. The vocal counterpoint in “Last Spaceship,” “Common Ground,” and “Quetico” are particular favorites of mine. Mary Crowell

Songs of mythology, magpies, and Mal performed by a duo who have truly mastered their instruments--guitar and voice. This album is superb. Mary Crowell
