In the Refrigerator
A tomato and a potato lived in a fridge
And a bunch of other foods lived in their midst
Tomato and potato ruled this place
And all the foods lived in grace.
Of course until all the eggs were beaten
And fried and seasoned and served and eaten
For the eggs were royal guards
Until their shells were smashed into shards
But other than that life was pretty well
But one day the evil Yam cast a spell
A deadly disease that made you grow old,
It was called “The Terrible Mold”
All the bread started to turn white,
And most of the berries were missing a bite,
Mr. Swiss and his wife turned to darker blue,
And so did Cheddar and Gouda too!
Broccoli’s buds started falling down
And Tomato and Potato were nowhere to be found!
Lettuces leaves were coming down fast
And many spinaches lives were passed,
All the meats were freaking out
Like the fish, the Bass, and the fresh trout
And the steak, the chicken, and barbeque duck
But they had tried and tested their luck
They sat in their drawer from April to May
Trying to find out if they could save the day.
They acted as nurses, they acted as a friend
And surprisingly not many lives came to an end,
And when the meats finally saved the day,
They remember that Witch Yam had a price to pay
They defeated her and the rulers came back later
And it turned out they were in another refrigerator!
All the foods kicked them out of the place
And from that day on they lived in grace.
