Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

My Office Is a Meat Locker

My office is a meat locker.
We could hang a hog in here for a week.
It would not become rancid or even warm.

My office is a meat locker.
I am dressed in long underwear
And four sweaters in eighty-eight-degree weather

My office is a meat locker.
The custodian is my best friend now.
She comes in here to cool off.

Eve Roper May 20, 2022 at 1:23 PM Enjoyed reading my friend. I think you’re running out of stuff to write. Blessings my friend Caren Krutsinger May 21, 2022 at 6:01 AM I have not run out yet

Jennifer Proxenos May 20, 2022 at 12:48 PM A sinus sufferer, i suck lozenges most days, and although we live in Africa (South Africa) our temperatures are pretty good - not too may very hot days and not too many cold days. If I come to visit you in your office/meat locker, do you think you can ask for a heater to plug in???? You always give me a laugh Caren. Caren Krutsinger May 21, 2022 at 6:01 AM Thank you Jennifer - this is so true!

Ilene Bauer May 20, 2022 at 11:01 AM Lucky you! I’d rather wear 4 sweaters than be sweating 4 times over in 88 degree weather, Caren! Caren Krutsinger May 21, 2022 at 6:02 AM I love sweating; I am like a happy fat cat lounging in the hottest sun. I need to move to the equator.

L Milton Hankins May 20, 2022 at 10:35 AM So, why is it so cold, Caren? I'd be perpetually sneezing! Caren Krutsinger May 21, 2022 at 6:02 AM I have inherited the "library's office" which is attached to the library through a small hallway. The blower is trying to cool off the library, but it can't because all the air comes to me and it cannot go out the door and around the corner at a ninety degree angle.
