Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

The chocolate-covered strawberries Were free, as a promotion. My friend gave me a coupon - "Use it If you've got the notion." I brought them home and ate a few Then stuck them in the freezer. I didn't love them but I said I did, So it would please her. That was a year ago and I'd Forgotten they existed, But when I found them, tossing them Was something I resisted. You see, my friend who'd coupon-shared No longer is alive. It seems ironic that these treats, though, Managed to survive. They hardly take up any room Behind the ice cube tray So that is where, at least for now, Those strawberries will stay.
