ode to the empty refrigerator

Oh refrigerator!
You look so lonely
Standing in the corner.

I have done all I could
To make you feel
More at home.

I draped you with shopping lists and coupons
Adorned you with quirky magnets,
But nothing works.

Oh refrigerator!
Why must you be so cold to me?

As I look at your barren shelves and
Lonely box of baking soda,
I have come to a realization.

It's grocery day.
