The Office Refrigerator

How good it is to have at work a large refrigerator,

 

    in which, to leave and then retrieve our food, sooner or later.

 

If say, perhaps, a memory lapse should cause our lunch to linger

 

    so long that eating it would put our stomach through the wringer,

 

    instead of throwing it away, we tend to leave it where it lay.

 

Therefore, so that our common larder shall not seem untidy,

 

    all items, edible or not, will disappear this Friday.
