The refrigerator
May 2, 2008 by Kimberly
The refrigerator: what a marvelous, modern convenience. The keeper of cold foods…and also, occasionally, a science project in progress! I’m talking about that unidentifiable casserole/cake/who-knows-what that’s lurking on the back shelf. You guessed it, I cleaned mine today. It’s was frightening. There are certain odors you just don’t ever want to recall. Ever.
Here’s a little poem I wrote to mark this momentous occasion:
It’s Time To Clean The Fridge
I think it’s time to clean the fridge
And here’s how I can tell:
The fuzzy clumps of rotting fruit,
That putrid, horrid smell!
I think it’s time to clean the fridge
Indeed, I can’t deny
Half-empty jars, the smudge, the smear;
They all assault the eye
I think it’s time to clean the fridge
Just peek inside the door,
Now grab a bag, some bleach, a rag
Behold! It’s clean, once more!

I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 26 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Rite also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.
That is sooo cute!

I got quite the chuckle from your poem. Thank you for brightening my day.
You and me both…that’s on my list for this week!
Your quite the poet! One of my favorite things to do. Write…When I’m trying to escape from cleaning the fridge…
