comfort light

 *  comfort light *
Light comes on when door opens
Rectangular block of welcoming light
Revealing nestled cool within
A cornucorpia of edible things
No Weight-Watchers approved unit this
Instead a place of culinary bliss
Cream and butter and farm cured hams
Yogurt and chocolate and lashings of lemonade
This fridge a time traveller
To shores less calorie conscious
When you ate as seasons provided
Fresh picked berries in summer
Submerged beneath ice cream slabs
Or deep rich soups bright and thick
Winter broths to warm you quick
Inside this rectangle of light
Is mother's love to be applied
When world does not work out right
To bring reward or succour credible
In every bite of cakes so edible
And no fear within that light
All is clean and preserved just right
Milk if drunk by use by date
Foods do not sour or quickly stale
Cheeses retain their shape and taste
No mold infects to create waste
The fridge contents purrs like a cat
A feline refridgerator fancy that
White good preening self in corner
Always happy for you to pat
Reach out and stroke handle slim
Lightly tug and look within
An Aladdin's cave of incredible edible things
When light comes on how joyous stomach sings.
