DAY 9 - NAPOWRIMO 2011

Posted to Writers Island


THE BEDSITTER

What’s in the fridge then?
Cup-a-soup, already made
As luck would have it
Yesterday, the day before
Microwave, highest setting

Four or five minutes
Old stuff edible again
Nuke it; only way
It’s not worth taking chances
Especially on Friday night

Oh great… wholemeal bread!
What’s wrong with Mothers Pride White
Bit hard round the crust
Pack left open in the fridge?
…Can’t wait till Sunday at Mum’s

    Mums! Good to have them! Sometimes we are too late to appreciate that. And sometimes there is nothing to appreciate :-)

    Ah, no one cooks like mum's - yet a secret never to be told to wife.

    Mom's German potato salad: right up there with Grandma's fudge. Oy. Don't get me started.
    Cool write, Trunker.

    I miss my mom's cooking, Stan. Mine just doesn't seem to be the same, though I try;)

    Sometimes it is necessary to take drastic steps. I married a woman who cooks better than Mum.

    LOL - I was just thinking today that it's been far too long since I've been home for some of my mom's cooking! My fridge just holds doggy-bags until it's time for them to be thrown away!

    Have you tried Marmite? Or Marmalade doorsteps?
