Short Frig Poems

Should you awaken in the night in a fog,
Raid the frig, and have yourself a slaw dog!
It will generate sweet dreams during the night,
And you will sleep like a baby until first light....

What earthly things do I have to say
The world's still round same stuff each day
Happy as a pig
So what the frig
Why can't we all act happy in life's happy play

What earth shattering things have I got to say
The world's still round, same stuff each day
Happy as a pig
So what the frig
Why can't everybody perform in life's happy play...

Hear tell the state of Texas is freaking big
Almost the size of Canada, holy frig
Why not form your own country
Have your own funny money
With The Wulfman riding herd from the brig

Chewing is my favorite sport
You can have the wine, the port
My teeth were sharp, my teeth were fine
Until we hit that 30’s line
Enamel gone, chipped off by ice,
Tried to ignore dental advice
Cavities in my icy mouth
Five root canals, we’re going south
Pain and awfulness even a bridge
I think twice now when I open that frig...

A Dream

I went to bed the other night
Had a dream – a dreadful fright
My brother, and my sister later
Ran into an alligator
Hid behind a purple frig
Glittery? I’d say a smig
Then came by a buffalo
At least it looked a little so
As other creatures went and came
They started up a baseball game
But when it came my turn to bat
I woke up thinking “what was that!”...

my dogs can be in the dead zone
snores as deep as the grand canyon
but when daddy opens the frig
they are as awake as a grumpy newborn
hypervigilant, they wait to hear the pop
they move toward the kitchen
to see what they will beg for
they don’t do this to you! my husband says
of course they don’t.
I don’t share my people food.
They have their own duck and chicken delights....

Oh dear friend of mine
I need to tell you about me and my wine
It always goes down so smooth
All of my cares it does soothe

Then when I go home 
To my frig I do roam
Inside another bottle of wine does set
So needless to say another glass I get

Then my eyes starch to blurling
Ants my worchs starch to slurching
Jist wunch I tellch waach agret friegs zha ares
Angs jist menbers thizisg way i donst goes ta bars...

After a thundering wet stormy night
I opened up the frig and had a fright
And out scrambled like it had an invite
Six frightening crab legs came and excite
Just out of Alfred Hitchcock movie write

2nd

Early morning rise, orange juice delight
When a six legged crab in the spotlight
Came scurrying at me with no invite

I truly Miss my Mother she died very young at 97

I would go to my mothers house
Looking for food and open her frig.
What would I see 10 butter containers
None with labels full of leftovers

How does she know what’s in those containers
A system she said the right were vegetables
The left was meat and the middle
Was all the goodies she loved to eat

I asked which one was butter and she said:
Only a fool puts butter in the frig....

Diet always on my mind…
When in bed, in bathroom, 
When taking showers
When in the gym, in sauna, swimming pool;

When looking in a mirror
Taking pictures with my cell…
Comparing myself to other women…
And so on and so forth…

Then good intentions leave me
When I enter my walk-in frig…
I give myself a brake…
Another solemn promise:

‘I ATE, I EAT
And do so in a future!!!
No Regrets and Self-Recriminations!!!
Hell with Diet!!!’...

the only photo on his nightstand
was of himself
framed newspaper in living room
of his basketball playing days
nary a photo of anyone else
she searched but came up empty

warning signs to his date
she did discover magnets on his frig
of a young boy; discovered it was him
She used his personalized stationary
to write him a good-bye note
He did not see it until an hour later
did not hear the door close
from his position at the full length mirror...
