2-4 line poem, personification style, about a dishwasher.. magnet bajiger?

I made this cute scrabble magnet for a dishwasher to know when the dishes are clean and dirty, and I wanted a cute 2-4 (or more or less) line "poem" in a personification tone explaining how it works.

the magnet: http://www.etsy.com/listing/105591315/scrabble-cle...

what I have (its too choppy and needs more of something)

"When I read "DIRTY" please fill me up, if I'm full then start me up. When I read "Clean" please unload...."

please help!

Update:

to E, i was going to more of a riddle.. trying to figure out what it is im talking about... and im describing a dishwasher.. its a dishwasher magnet

    Don't confuse your audience with complex words and statements. Dirty doesn't go with "fill me up" because you don't fill up dirt, and when I'm full, doesn't go with "start me up" because you are not talking about a car. Use words that compliment what you're saying so the audience will understand. These would be better lines "When I read "DIRTY" clean my pages (pages goes better with read); if I'm full-let my motor run (motor is more descriptive than start).

    Any CEO of a car rental agency. When the base price for one week starts out at $192 and ends up at $298, it is time for some serious head thumping. To add insult to this, upgrades which would add another $100 are outrageous. All of these were offered along with the substitution of a car not the first choice. Add $6.99 per gallon for fuel costs. If I thought Washington state was expensive, So. Calif. tops it. Thanks for letting me rant.
