My Fridge

My fridge has many magnets Holding photos, notes and lists. There doesn’t seem to be a square of space That I have missed. The magnets all are souvenirs Of places I have been, Reminding me of happy travels, Worthy of a grin. The pictures are of loved ones, Some of whom live far away; But when I’m in my kitchen I can see them every day. A stainless steel refrigerator Won’t let magnets stick, So rest assured, it’s not the type That I would ever pick. I’m just back from vacation And a lovely time I had, So now, to my collection, A new magnet I will add!

Not bad my friend. A very fun, imagistic, descriptive ode to the almighty fridge. I'm a father of three, so I get it--and cool meter too! Most folks struggle with that it seems. Hugs :-)

I gave my Mom a magnet years ago shortly after she quit smoking. It said, if your smoking in here, you'd better be on fire. It's on my fridge now, which is actually their fridge. I inherited.

I envy you - I have one of those non-magnetic fridges and can't hang a thing on it.

you are so much like me in some ways, Ilene. This is one of them. I used to have SO many souvenirs up but when we moved, I took many down and it's been years since I put them all up again. Nobody in my family appreciated it. Only me. Sigh!!!
