There’s a bowl of leftover spaghetti 
in a stained Tupperware on the top shelf
of the refrigerator.

It’s grown a bit dry, the way day old pasta does.
Give it new life in an omelet. 
Crack yourself a few eggs directly into the bowl
and whisk it.

Oil the pan and dump in the contents,
spread the spaghetti evenly throughout. 
Listen to the sizzle while the eggs just set.
Gramma likes them a little runny, so flip it now

Slice it like a pizza and Voila!
Grandpa bursts out a phlegmy, Ha!
because it’s 2018 and he’s still alive
and he’s shocked that a woman who
can cook such a great omelet
isn’t yet married.
