A challenge - 140 character poem

Dear Readers and maybe poets,
This morning I managed to write a short poem in 140 characters (actually less). Now I know that many haiku's can be written in 140 characters but this was a quick 4 line poem. So I decided to post it here as a challenge. It's just a bit of fun to try. Why did I write this? Well the washing machine we have makes a darn tune when it finishes and it does remind me of what the late great Douglas Adams might be thinking. Remember Marvin? This washing machine is just to cheerful to make sure you know it's done. Hence the poem. So here it is enjoy and see;
Poem
Is this the shape of things to come
A washing machine that sings and hums
Douglas would be laughing now
As we are tortured by this row
