Honey,
I’ve thrown out the rotten cabbage
that was in the white crisper—the
heads we bought at Florida Krud’s
Produce, on Election Day, remember?
We must have been stoned that day,
else why would we stick those stinky
heads near the hot wings?
I had some free time before voting today,
so I reached with my left hand and
covered my nose with the right.
Then I emptied the white crisper and
flushed the toilet.
I had to do it, sweetheart,
the darn thing was full of maggots!
