i opened the door to my stale heart
and much to my dismay
found there was much
room for improvement

A New Refrigerator
Her new fridge
set as a giant gleaming jewel between
clean countertop & faithful kitchen cupboards
Icemaker
amiable crispers bins & shelves
cavernous freezer with sensible sliding drawer
She’d paid cash
using her hard earned own money
smartly side-stepping debt & obligation
The old fridge
battered exterior puny packed interior
bleeding cold & ice cube trays always plundered
It was his
revered bachelorhood relic

The Refrigerator
all day, all night
you are the love of my life
sunrise or without light
door I keep in my life
big or small, I come to you
few or plenty, I fill you
any color you show me
clean as I go, you don't leave me
can't count the times I open you
people, young and old, depend on you
even guests can see

Ode To My Refrigerator
I've grown quite fond of the old gal in my house.
She lights up when I look for a snack,
more welcoming than a spouse
in a midnight tryst. She never gives me flack.
I value my fridge more than a vault,
but sometimes I open it and I'm repelled
by the scent of something fuzzy and green.
"That stinky odor is

Not the Grandson
Here they come again to open up my door
To stare at my innards, to pick and choose.
Take the carrots! I yell. Take the tomatoes.
I know they are going to get moldy and smelly.
Why don’t they ever choose the vegetables?
Why do they buy them?
Are they trying to impress the other shoppers?
My freezer is completely full.
Open the

I Shall Invent a Refrigerator
I shall invent a refrigerator Jake declared.
It has been invented, I replied as loud as I dared.
I will invent air conditioning for a whole house then.
He was smug on the slide; I quickly looked good at him.
Why don’t you just be yourself, and act four-years-old?
I know what I’ll do, he replied. I shall invent silver

The Refrigerator
The refrigerator helps us
To store food fresh
And keep them longer
We don't have to go to market everyday
But finally we find that
We store a lot of extra food
We forget to use food in time
After long time of storage
The food may change its best quality
And we are eating less tasty

What I Found In My Refrigerator
A Ziplock bag of cut-up hot dogs, treats for my daughter's Huskies
Two gallon jugs of 1% milk, both nearly empty
Three bottles of dressing, ranch from 2007
Leftover spinach salad that looks a bit ashen
Syrup: chocolate, blueberry, and pancake
Raisins and nuts for our Christmas fruitcake
Yesterday's dessert- Apple Brown Betty
Cold, cooked spaghetti
Five types of cheese: cottage, American, cheddar,

Ralphie the Refrigerator
Ralphie is angry today the woman told her man.
How do you know?
He has frozen the carrots and the peas.
He cannot turn himself up, the man argued.
Ralphie snickered, knowing that he can, and he does.
He is no ordinary, everyday common refrigerator.

The Day the Refrigerator Went Mad
The day the refrigerator went mad
Was the day the butcher put out the ad
Read to me by my own weirdo stepdad
Who was a putz, a reprobate, a cad
I was but a boy of ten, just a lad
Near the waterfront was our ugly pad
Chops only sixty cents, and we were glad
Refrigerator on the blink was bad
Can

Clean Your Refrigerator Day
Is today and it makes me wonder
why this happens only once each year.
I looked inside mine
for something a year old,
and found a few things I couldn’t recognize
in jars behind my wife’s peanut butter,
but nothing had lost its color,
and no foul odors assaulted me.
You can tell a lot about a person
by looking in their refrigerator.
People who
