I visit my fridge many times during the day
In the morning she blinks a good morning to me as I open the door
She wakes up and offers me breakfast
Usually yogurt and fresh fruit
I thank her for breakfast and close her door
She naps when her door is closed
Come mid morning I am feeling peckish
I open her door and ask what she has to offer
She suggests I eat some raw vegetables
Come lunchtime I visit the fridge again
She tells me to watch my calorie intake
Suggests a salad for lunch
I am hungry again by mid afternoon and revisit my fridge
I tell her I want those leftovers from the restaurant meal
We have a long chat about my snacking habits
She tells me to drink two glasses of water and no more snacking
I follow her advice and reluctantly close the door
Half an hour later I open the door again
She tells me to stay busy instead of eating
Points out that she needs a good cleanup
I get busy and throw away stuff that is getting old plus the leftovers
She sighs with contentment as I wash down her shelves
Then she tells me to close her door and go for a walk
I wander around the town and bump into some friends
We go to a happy hour and have a few drinks
Then we get hungry and order food
The happy our ends but we stay until late
We order more food and drinks
I get back home and open the fridge door
She shakes her head when she sees yet another bag of leftovers
Tells me I should not eat out so often and instead eat her healthy food at home
I am tired of her lecturing and ignore her
I throw in the leftovers and slam the door shut
I tell her to shut and leave me alone
I put on the TV then promptly fall asleep
Its late when I wake up in front of the TV
I am hungry and go searching for leftovers
The fridge door will not open at all
She refuses to unlock it until I apologize for being rude
I am too hungry to stand there arguing and offer my apologies
She unlocks the door and we have a long chat
I get a stern lecture on healthy eating while holding the door open
I nod in fake agreement that I am finished eating for today
Then I make a grab for the leftovers before she closes the door
Eating cold pizza at 2am is my reward
It tastes so good
The next day I wake up late and wander into the kitchen
Half expecting the fridge door to be locked again
It opens easily but I can sense something is wrong with her
Everything is defrosted and warm and all the food inside is ruined
I demand an explanation from the fridge
She tells me to calm down and listen to her
Pointing out that she turned herself off to deliberately destroy the contents
As a last desperate measure to stop me from over eating junk food
She asks me to go shopping and just buy healthy food to restock
Promises to keep it fresh if I promise to stick to my diet
I calm down and agree with her completely
I shake her handle to seal the deal
Then I empty all the rotting food
She switches herself back on again
She sighs with relief when I wipe down her shelves
I go to Whole Foods and pick up a ton of healthy foods
They take my whole paycheck at the checkout
My fridge smiles when I restock her
We become best friends again
My desire to snack gets stronger every day
But I do not want to let her down
I figure out a way to keep her happy
I buy a second fridge and put her in the garage
She looks so cute in there alongside my tools
Stocked with beer and unhealthy treats
My garage fridge loves to party with me
While my kitchen fridge thinks I am sticking to my diet
I visit the garage fridge often late at night
We drink beer together and chat endlessly about nothing
She watches TV with me and offers me snacks
She squeezes my hand when I touch her door handle
We become very close
Life is great again for me and for both my fridges
It all comes undone after a month or so
I open the kitchen fridge asking her for salad to make my lunch
She blinks her light slowly and then starts to cry
I ask her what is bothering her and she sobs
You are cheating on me with that floozy in the garage
Hahahaha!!!! What a clever funny poem…Love it!! It ranks tight up there with the Dishwasher and the Shoes!!!
