Before I Go

Husband to wife: I ate the yogurt That you saved in the refrigerator You know the expensive one with the strawberry preserves Which you like to have in the morning I apologize but I couldn’t help myself It was delicious and the strawberries Were so sweet and so cold. Wife to husband: I found your scribbly note On the counter with all the bills That need to be paid. I’m glad you liked The yogurt Now maybe you will change your diet And stop eating greasy food. Pasting the note on the refrigerator door She smiles to herself Thank God he didn’t look any further And find the others Filled with strawberries and blueberries Hidden between the celery and carrots He would have eaten them all And left none for me.
