Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Cookie and a Dove Bar Please

For supper I only want sugar.
A cookie and a Dove Bar please.
Nothing healthy.

I open the freezer and am stunned.
I have eaten all the Dove Bars
And there is no ice cream or cookie.

The whole freezer is full of 
healthy meals for seniors
sent by Medicare, nothing sweet.

I am glad I cancelled the next load.
I like choosing what goes into my freezer

Gershon Wolf July 26, 2021 at 5:35 PM Ha, ha, ha, ha. 'Healthy' is overrated, and 'Happy' ain't exactly chopped liver. :) gw Caren Krutsinger July 26, 2021 at 8:01 PM Chopped liver - ugh. Tried to eat it once.Never again!

L Milton Hankins July 26, 2021 at 12:17 PM Me, too, Caren, although my freezer is packed with stuff I only cooked part of and crammed what was left over, properly sealed, into a slot, saying, "hmmm, I'll have that for dinner next week." Long forgotten. I'm think about going through my freezer and throwing out everything that's been opened and starting all over! Caren Krutsinger July 26, 2021 at 2:40 PM Sounds like a plan! We live in the poorest county in Kansas; due to our age Medicare sent us a whole bunch of frozen food that is marked "healthy food for seniors". it fills up our freezer. I cancelled it.
