Leftovers

Leftovers, leftovers what a treat open the fridge to see what to eat Chinese from last week four day spaghetti at a flavor peak? Something grey from way back when butterscotch pudding with cracked top skin Potatoes cooked but with eyes that salad is hard and dry Oranges that have fermented apples that are demented Look a bag of grandma's stew didn't she pass in two thousand and two? Carton of milk that turn to cheese I think the roast beef has fleas Fresh mushrooms we did not buy a half eaten sandwich that waves hi Green beans with an attitude slice of baloney like a leather shoe Eggs with feathers carrots knitting sweaters Pizza from World War One and a loaf of bread having too much fun Check the cupboard before something screams looks like will eat that can of pork and beans.
