A Heartfelt Thank You Gift

I have a thank you for you, my friend said.
Let’s call her Terry.
You can have any three you want.
I had no idea what she was popping out of the freezer bag.
It was frozen dinners; we both eat them.

This one’s for you, she said.
And this one.
And this one.
She gave me two spaghettis and a lasagna.
‘Then she closed up the bag; I have no idea what she kept.

We had already discussed that she did not
like the spaghettis or the lasagnas.
So much for choosing.

I'm surprised, Caren. Those are full of SALT. My doctor absolutely demands that I not eat them, says they will throw me into congestive heart failure...along with bacon, which I love!
