oh hello-
my name is frigidair   and I am
a (retro) refrigerator
  for food
I have been in this apartment
      since 1950

a nice kitchen   but I cannot move
    so not sure about 
the rest
I am tall as a person
and a bit fat
       a lovely creamy white
             with drawers
                 (and an egg compartment)                       
and of course a freezer

      I am restored     a restoration  
not quit an antique yet
                        but feeling my age
my father was general electric
and mother was pink
      my sister was turquoise

free standing     happily I hum
all day
    and all night      and sometimes I
clunk
    I look crooked     but that's the floor
              I seem to be going
                        downhill

inside me are good things
like meat and poultry      ice cream
   milk    eggs    vegetables        juice
fruit

please be careful with my door

oh     some of my shelves are lopsided
(well that's old age)
    and lets not talk about the cracks

but I still work
    and some say I am quite appealing
      I've aged well    in this heritage building
or at least that is what 
     I heard        (and the word vintage)

did I tell you     they restored me
    to be frost free
                      (they put me to sleep for that)
               the girl likes that about me
I like it when she caresses me
                           with a wet damp clothe
she is quite proud
                      of me

and I like this room    big and roomy
          and the window
looks out on a lovely garden
that's so nice
                  and the little things the girl has
on counters                   so pretty   (she is)
      she always puts some      flowers
by the sink      for me    oh how sweet 

    its really a good life     for a refrigerator
although     not sure how much time
                 I have left    
(no regrets)         and to all refrigerators
  let me say      keep cool     and plugged in
