It Came from the Bottom of the Freezer
Three overripe bananas with shriveled
black peels in a ziplock baggie, from before
I learned to peel them first
A bag of supermarket brand soup
vegetables, featuring okra, that passed
through two other freezers
before landing here
Half a package of gluten free
bagels from that time the church
council experimented with different
bread for communion
Several plastic containers of liquid
I believed so obviously self-explanatory
they needed no label
I was wrong

Your freezer sounds like mine – especially the last stanza. You say it well! Thanks.
Ha ha! This is all too familiar and so fun!
I love this comical take on cleaning the freezer!
Delightful read! And you just taught me that I should peel my bananas before I freeze them. Thank you!
A fun poem AND we learned something! A win-win. 🙂
Just remember to label them – you don’t want to know what horrors will come to mind otherwise! 😉
Relatable AND entertaining
Just what I needed to start the day!
Clever, creative and well written!
Lol. Love the title and the ending and all in between.
Ha! The science experiments we find in the freezer.
