A Tribute To a Major Appliance

Hey little fridgy-widgy,
Where’s my fishy-wishy?
Is it hiding in the back,
Or lost in a crack?
Let me at it,
Gonna grab it,  
With a mini fridge attack.

Eww, its swathed in icky mold,
But the fish was not that old.
I assert that you must
Shake off all your rust.
Don’t you ditch me,
Fridgy-widgy;
Say you’ll always keep food cold.

You say you’ve lost your drive,
And will not long survive.
But you’re my best chum, 
That’s kept food numb,
And like a pup,
I’ve raised you up
Since nineteen eighty five.

In fact, you are living proof,
That I haven’t lost my youth.
You’ve been plugged in,
Through thick and thin,
Though my family
Have all left me,
But I wish you were rustproof!

Isn't it amazing what can get lost in the cracks of an old fridge?? (I'm still looking for a package of pork chops........I know they are in there somewhere!!) Cute poem!!! Congrats to you!
