The patient has gone back to college.
Left behind,
is a refrigerator filled with
PUDDING AND JELLO.
Left behind,
is a freezer filled with
POPSICLES AND ITALIAN ICE.
And, the cooler on the back deck
is still overflowing with beer,
though the temperatures have risen above freezing,
so I lack the confidence to tell you
that they are still ice-cold.
However . . .
I am considering having a “post-tonsillectomy” party.
Pro hockey players, babies, and the elderly are welcome.
