Leftovers
Leftovers, leftovers what a treat
open the fridge to see what to eat
Chinese from last week
four day spaghetti at a flavor peak?
Something grey from way back when
butterscotch pudding with cracked top skin
Potatoes cooked but with eyes
that salad is hard and dry
Oranges that have fermented
apples that are demented
Look a bag of grandma's stew
didn't she pass in two thousand and two?
Carton of milk that turn to cheese
I think the roast beef has fleas
Fresh mushrooms we did not buy
a half eaten sandwich that waves hi
Green beans with an attitude
slice of baloney like a leather shoe
Eggs with feathers
carrots knitting sweaters
Pizza from World War One
and a loaf of bread having too much fun
Check the cupboard before something screams
looks like will eat that can of pork and beans.
