Very nice! For whatever reason, the first two lines of stanza two evoked the answer for me. Well done.
Thanks. It is nice to receive positive feedback.
Another good one, TFF. Thanks for posting it.
thank you Snowdog & dalfamnest ....
for the comments.
It's too bad they needed to be prompted. The teaser is a good one and should have had better recognition.
Does anyone care about this?
I am going to keep asking. At least until I get some good answers or get booted from Braingle for being ...
"annoying".

Nice teaser
I was going to say microwave or oven, but then I read over the "awakened when depressed" line, so I went with toaster.
What did you mean by that line? It really threw me off.

The use of the word "depressed" here means "pressed down". So the microwave is "awakened" when you press its buttons.
