Nothing in the House to Eat
I pined, I whined, I opined I’d nothing here to eat.
No soup or chips or waffles. No ham or other meat.
I’d used up all my popcorn. I never buy baloney.
But looking in the freezer, I found some pepperoni!
When I went searching through the fridge, hidden back so far
that I could barely see it, I found a little jar.
Hidden behind the pickles, some pizza sauce that I
surmised was just enough to make a little pizza pie!
Some frozen cheese to top it, and some pita for the crust.
It seems that it was fated that a pizza was a must.
The toaster oven was just right for melding it together.
I dived once more into the fridge, intent on seeing whether
I had stuff for a salad, and I found some veggies shredded.
Fresh carrots and fresh cabbage—which were most swiftly wedded.
Balsamic and some blue cheese and olives from a jar
made a so-so salad only slightly below par.
The pizza cooked so quickly that I was quickly fed.
And now that I am sated, I think I’ll go to bed!
Forgottenman made me post this! I need to learn not to tell him anything this late at night. He always decides it would make a good blog post!!!
It’s a great post! Creative and delicious. Now I’m wondering what’s in my fridge, lol.

Ha ha. I am actually suffering the effects of a poorly chosen lunch entree, which is keeping me awake. (Phew – ducked that one, lol.)

Again, to be clear: NOBODY “makes” Judy/Remi/lifelessons do anything! But, yes, I suggested this would make a cool blog post. What amazes me is that she wrote this whole thang in less than 30 minutes! (applause emoji)

Sounds good — I hope the tomato sauce was fresher than my finds sometimes are!

I love how easily you rhyme. Most of my poems are unrhymed, because my rhymes sound lame. I’m always delighted by your poetry.

Thanks, Andrea. Easier for me to rhyme than not because it limits my choices!
