Tounge in cheek look at the consequence of a malfunctioning refrigerator holding Christmas goodies. No one got sick; just tossed out a lot of hard work. (ED=Emergency Department)

Refrigerator Blues

Clay Hurtubise

The dip has gripped me,

Can’t you see?

My eyes yellow, skin is green

That old frig is a vengeful machine

Too much I ate

That I admit.

The alarm, too late,

To the ED I commit.

Now I pray to porcelain God,

Holiday treats, more of a trick

Placed not in a frig, but a bacterial pod

Next year I swear, just a quick lick.

That was not a treat…Very well said. Thank you Clay.

yup eating nasty food is never a good thing. Rotten milk is particularly bad.

He was a clever thing. He’d knew he’d get to eat everything if he managed to find a space in there! LOVE the ryhme.

Never munch on spoiled doggie, fer shure.

Lovely imagery. That dog looks like he’s guarding the food. Too bad he wasn’t on duty to keep you from eating too much. I don’t know if he would help you with discernment though. They have a great sense of smell, but they will eat anything.

You really made me laugh out loud! This is the cutest thing I have seen for a while. As I write I can’t stop laughing. Like the post, love the pooh. (–:

Awesome sense of humor. You don’t see to many funny poems lately.

You must have left the frige open, a no no.
lillyrose on Jan 2, 2011

Porcelain gods can’t do much for us.

Lol, Sadly it’s the eating out and food on the go that really gets me. Luckily it’s more often than not that I eat at home.

The porcelain god, you make me laugh, I was just eating my breakfast when that image came into my head…. wonderful stuff again Clay.
