Ode to a Rubbermaid Container
Ode to a Rubbermaid Container
O! Rubbermaid Container!
You were once so shiny and new
Then my darling husband got a hold of you
and you became scarred.
Your once clear sides,
Marred by the battle with the microwave oven
And some zesty barbeque sauce,
Bubbling inside your confined cavity.
O! Rubbermaid Container!
I place coleslaw inside your pockmarked body
And wonder if it will emerge from you
Onto my fork and taste just a little sugary.
O! Rubbermaid Container!
Shall I replace you and send you on your way
to the great beyond outside our lives?
Or shall I keep you and treasure your service a little longer?
O! Rubbermaid Container!
Next time, microwave on high may not be the best idea
For your return to that battleground, but seventy percent power instead.
