I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast.
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
Florence "Flossie" Williams' reply to her husband's famous poem, disguised as a refrigerator note, was sweet, considerate and very wifely. No doubt, appropriate for the time. Still, it bothered me. So, I rewrote it and feel better having done so.
Dear Bill,
Yes, I was looking forward
To the plums for breakfast.
Instead of eating them,
Per your icebox note,
I made do with a
Handful of blueberries.
Also, made you a couple of sandwiches
Which you will find in the icebox.
I don't plan on eating them,
Although I'm sure they are delicious.
I forgive you
As always, Flossie
P.S. Don't be such a bastard
Next time
