Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Food Delivery

Our fridge is full to bursting – 
The food arrived today.
It’s always nice to see so much
Just waiting, on display.

The staples we rely on
Plus, of course, a little splurge – 
Today it was a key lime pie
For which I had the urge.

The fruit and veggie bins are stuffed;
The shelves are crammed as well.
We’ve not forgotten anything,
As far as I can tell.

So now we can begin the job,
Which I cannot resist,
Of digging in, until it’s time
For our next shopping list.

Maurice Rigoler January 28, 2021 at 7:26 PM I have a small closet in the kitchen stocked with foods I enjoy, mostly canned or dry. Once a month I replace what I've used or add new things – if the price is right. I'm most a veggie freak so I buy enough to last about a week. Right now I'm on an avocado craze. Key lime pie is not a favorite of mine, lemon tarte or leomon meringue oe lemon squares are. Always appreciate hearing from you and reading your work. / Maiurice

Caren Krutsinger January 27, 2021 at 4:19 PM I swear this pandemic is the reason I weigh more now than I have ever weighed in my life. This poem fits in well with my new life theme of collecting and eating comfort food. So timely Ilene.

Jan Allison January 27, 2021 at 2:45 PM You sound like you've got things well organised and I wholeheartedly approve of a treat and i love key lime pie i had it many years ago when we went to Florida:-) hugs Jan xx

Robert Pettit January 27, 2021 at 11:52 AM I don't have much in my refrigerator right now, so reading this descriptive poem has made me hungry. Great write as usual, Ilene.
