[This is why we must write; I never knew until this stanza unfolded.]


(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCCLXXXII)


Two canteloupes with rot are better hence
Than simply one, or else why that detail?
And milk two days expired shall now avail;
Five pounds of salad and two more fr'intents
Of lettuce is a bright idea, whence
Add two complete chix salads for sheer bail
Tonight, our dinner that, and to derail
Good reason, salad too, likeas defense.
Put on a movie for distraction, poor
As such escapes, and if one's good, then two
Are better, til it's time for bed in tour
Cuz my alarm will seem too soon. I knew
Twas lotsa food--I'll pack mine fer lunch. Were
There else, Thy mercies, LORD, are ever new.
