What Are We Growing In the Microwave

What are we growing in the microwave?
I am not its mama, I am not its slave.
Whatever it is, it gets worse every day.
If I ignore it, will it soon go away?
A variety of colors, big and bold.
Could the green stuff be a little bit of mold?

I know how to clean it. I have done it before.
Hanging upside down, waving to the front door.
What are we growing in the microwave?
I am not its mama, I am not its slave.
Whose job is it to clean it? Will it go away?
Like the refrigerator, this will wait another day.
