Oh Deep Freeze
My friend
With delectable delights
To satisfy cravings
And homesickness fight
You help us stop bugs
From spoiling our meals
And chocolate from melting
In heat that's unreal
Ice cream, chocolate chips
Bacon, bananas
Tortilla mix, cake mix
Pecans from Grandma's
Otter Pops, Easter candy
Emergency Indian food
To feed local guests
Who find our food not so good
Craisins and raisins
Strawberry jam
Yeast and roast beast
From the meat man
And now that it's hot
You make ice for our water
Since it comes from the tap
Steaming hotter and hotter
But the generator is broken
And there's no electricity
So goodbye freezer contents
We barely ate thee.

If you need any help eating the chocolate before it goes bad (or gets too messy), I'm your girl!
The poem was great!
what an ode and what a bummer!
Okay, we must admit that Rich took some poetic justice and added that last stanza. Though such a thing did happen to us while the Pulsiphers were here (the famous turkey was in there!), it thankfully hasn't happened since. But we're doing our best to eat everything up in case it happens again while we're on vacation this summer!
