Raw Confusion Limerick
Raw Confusion Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I stare at my freezer, unglued:
I’m in “Indian leftovers” mood.
But it’s chaos in there.
Yes, from now on I swear
That I’ll label my freezer-bound food.
UPDATE: I just found out that November 29th is “Throw Out Your Leftovers Day.” And October 30th is Haunted Refrigerator Night.

LOL! Oh gosh, that sounds like my freezer! ☼
My freezer is not in disorder;
twas recently cleaned by my daughter.
Her work was precise–
she kept just the ice!
And called it a leftover slaughter.
P.S. I grew up in Jersey, where order rhymes with daughter.
Oh, does this one ever hit home, Madeleine! Can’t tell the leftovers from the fresh-frozen from the… bacon drippings! The best humor comes from truth and a willingness to make oneself appear a bit silly at times. Nicely done.
Amy
a new day
ha…yeah we need to do that one too…that way i dont spend all night unwrapping…
Ha! Last week my chef-hubby took a container of “pasta sauce” out of the freezer. Have you ever had salsa pasta? Arrgh. You’ve touched on a universal problem here.
Looking into our freezer is like going on a treasure hunt. You never know what ya might find.
Anonymous freezer food
Is the heart and soul of any stew.
Throw it in the pot
And stir it a lot
And remember brown gravy is the glue.
with kids in the house there’s no chance
they stare at the frig in a trance
they swear “there’s no food”
at least “nothing good”
so the food’s an illusion perchance?
This is awesome! I love it. So funny, and we can all relate!
Thanks for your fun limericks Patrick and Sandy and Amanda. And thanks everyone for your enthused comments.
