I'd like to say.
That I'm not the one responsible
for all the fridge space.
I didn't eat the whipping cream--
didn't even try it.
That Barbecue Beef in a Bowl?
Wasn't on my diet.

the pudding or the fries.
I didn't eat the strudel,
nor yet the apple pies.
Instead I saved my money
and sent it to the poor.
I cared about the hungry...
Well I like to say that...for the record...
But the truth is that I can't.
Hey. I'm only mortal, after all.
So I exercise at the gym to lose the extra pounds
and to bring my blood pressure back down
to a safe level so I won't have a stroke or heart attack
from all the clogged arteries.
I'm only mortal, after all.

I love the poem! We're all only mortal, and God knows we could make room in the fridge for more veggies and fewer pies. And don't get me started on the left-over take-out.
It seems like I spend every afternoon eating. I'm definitely responsible for the fridge space.
well then i think you ought to be handing over those checkers seasoned fries!!!! we don't have checkers out here,.... i had forgotten how much i used to enjoy those spicy fries.......

This was cute!! Excellent way to use the prompt...reminds me of my kids when I ask "who took the..." and they say "not me!!" :)

Too funny! Makes me want to go see what I didn't put in my fridge! (perhaps the green chili dip to go with chips) :)
Ah, honesty is such a delight :-)
Sadly from looking at my waistline it's been me who's been eating everything in your fridge.
I admire your honesty! Great piece - loved it.
I think it is unfair that all comfort foods are bad for us. Great verse.
If only we listened to our minds..
spaced out
So many identifiable things in the fridge.
That's one way to make space in your fridge! Very funny piece.
Haha! Shifting stuff from the fridge to the stomach... only tp get more 'fridge space' here! :) Kudos to your immortal honesty though!
