The Perils Of Super Bowl Fare (Limerick)

The Perils Of Super Bowl Fare (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane

My blood nearly came to a boil,
As our microwave flamed. Was it oil?
We stopped it in time,
And Mark’s wings were sublime.
Lesson learned: They come wrapped up in foil.

(While engrossed in the game, hubby Mark absent-mindedly put his box of Pizza Hut chicken wings in the microwave. Bad idea!)

  1. Ahahahaha! That’s something I haven’t done … yet! I have, however, had exploding food due to lids that fit too tightly.

    It was hard to get zapping to stop
    Did as they said and took off the top
    followed their instruction
    microwave destruction
    Result from my nuking Jiffy Pop

    Was looking for super bowl snacks
    between the davenport’s cracks
    and under the seats
    I found soiled treats
    with hair, gum, and old carpet tacks

    A cheetos and caramel corn
    I bobbled when watching some porn
    some squished m&ms
    and among them
    pop-tart from a long-ago morn

    A Brit superbowl I tell you
    Is a high plate of food I can chew.
    Do you watch a plate
    For how much you ate?
    If “yes” that’s entirely new!

    My BIL ‘killed’ his microwave with a bread tie twisty.
    Got to be careful with them there cookers!
    Glad everyone is safe – that could have been a big mess!

    I can hear my husband now…make sure you didn’t fry the inner workings of your microwave. If you saw flame you might just have to replace the unit.
    He is a safety geek you know…
