Expiration Date

 

Wasn’t a suggestion

the thing is green and fuzzy,

kept too long

past its prime

the can is even puffy,

So long ago, not quite sure

Whatever once it was -

but now the thing has sprung a leak,

and I hear a little buzz.

Maybe I should shake it

listen for a clunk...

possibly the fumes from it

affected how I thunk.



Seems my poetic license has expired.

And I just threw away a very green and fuzzy croissant from my cupboard! You are not alone!!
