His Fridge

His Fridge Sometimes I’m afraid to open the door! . Half a lemon..dried up and sad. A carton of noodles that smell pretty bad. Some sour cream gone shockingly green. A tomato with quite an unhealthy sheen. Some carrots that seem to be growing hair. Last year’s fruitcake a friend brought to share. Two slices of pizza from last weeks big bash. I think that plate must be Gram’s corned beef hash. Way in the back theres a jar with one pickle. I’d think about eating it if I wasn’t so fickle. Six bottles of soy sauce and one salad dressing. If he doesn’t get sick its one of God’s blessings. Go get your coat, we’re eating out.

This reminds me of a few "bachelor" fridges I've seen from time to time!! (My son, before his lovely wife, finally rescued him from starvation!!) ~ Carrie

Thank you for allowing me to chuckle with this one. I think there are a lot of fridges that look like this. Love the last line--a great sounding solution. Thank you also for taking the time to comment on my poem. Keep up the good writing! Karen

Lol. The fact that the character in this piece wants to hang around speaks volumes about them as a person. The poem flows well and the topic is so light and straight to the point. Good work.

Brilliant Barbara. I loved the inclusion of '...get your coat...' reminds of Yorkshire, back in the UK! Love, Nigel

I love this wretched (retch) salad, how things get pushed back out of sight. Only the overpowering aroma will instigate action. Great sense of humor. Thanks for sharing my musical experience. Love, daver
