Help The Fridge Is Starting To Sprout. by Barb Russell

Help!! The Fridge Is Starting To Sprout.

Once I woke up and decided to have mid night snack.
Half in the dark and not really awake,I struggled with the handle.
It just wouldn't give in.

More awake now, I turned on the kitchen light.
It looked like sprouts coming out of the fridge.
I went to my tool box and got out my wire cutters.
And I set out to work.

Such a sight and not to my delight.
Next I took my hatchet and started to hack.
Feeling like a first time vandal.
Finally I got the spouts off and had a look in.

Inside, utter fright!!
Terror in the fridge,my fridge.
Things weren't the same ,the butter wasn't butter.
My fridge gone berserk!

I must say it was colorful,black and white and green.
In the crisper,I found the source of the sprouts.
The potatoes were half rotted and sprouting.
In one container was tuna fish but thats another story.

It was the combination of rotting food smell that was worse.
I tried picking them up to throw away and my fingers slipped through them.
It was then I felt like I was going to throw up.
I saved the sprouts.

Next day I cleaned the fridge, know what I mean.
About time,no doubt!
I planted the sprouts and they are still sprouting.
As far as the fridge we now do full inventory.

If I don't buy any food how could it be worse?
Next time it happens maybe I'll leave it condemned.
And only drink things for one cup.
I want living vegetarian out!

So that why I cried...

HELP!! THE FRIDGE IS STARTING TO SPROUT!!
