The Fridge.

The Fridge.

A Poem by Paul Bell

Monday

                It has come to my attention, that someone has been stealing from

                the communal fridge. I notice that my own personal milk with my

                name on the bottle is half empty, also three fingers of my kitkat

                are missing. Please refrain, or action will be taken.

Tuesday

                It has come to my attention, and I’m pleasantly surprised to see

                my milk has been topped up, though, why two fingers of my

                kitkat  in a V sign just beggars belief. Just tasted my milk, you

                dirty b*****d. I will now be monitoring the fridge from my office.

                You will be caught.

Wednesday

                 

                  It has come to my attention, the camera monitoring the fridge

                  is now monitoring the ladies toilet. This is intolerable, you are

                  usurping my authority. Heads will roll. I will now be moving the

                  fridge into my office until further notice.

Thursday

 

                  It has come to my attention, my office has been penetrated,

                  the fridge is missing, and I find a ransom note on my desk.

                  I don’t know who you people think you're dealing with, but

                  let me leave you in no doubt, I will find out who you are, and

                  you will be dismissed.

Friday

 

                  It has come to my attention, a delivery of fifty fridges is

                  cluttering up the whole building, management is going

                  ballistic. I concede to your demands, please get rid of

                  them. Let us get back to you taking my milk and my biscuits,

                  my job, my life. Just leave me alone.

         Thankyou.

'The Fridge'
Paul Bell,
Hmm...Time for lunch. Oh, my bucket's contents are not what they were, rather distressing as it was not I that changed it's content. Suspicions now bring discomfort and a disunity under the surface. Yikes! Stay away from my lunch. Hmm..did someone not have lunch and ate mine? Your poem was great. I have had a similar image in mind from sharing a eating space and fridge with others.

The communal fridge, Kathy, it's a war zone.
It is a fun zone too mind you.

Sure sounded like a crazy war too. Good fun Paul!
This is fun and amusing. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This particular line however, was slightly confusing.
"though, why two fingers of my kitkat in a V sign..."
I suspect there was supposed to be an 'are' mixed into that sentence somewhere.

Non the less the finished piece is amusing and well formatted. Good writing!

It was sort to convey two fingers up to the poor soul, who was a bit of a pain in the a*s. lol

Hmm. The insanity of the office. There is always a cunning thief in the office; like Houdini, making things disappear all the time.

Your piece will certainly strike a chord with many readers. A nice attempt at witty writing.

Thanks Kim, glad you enjoyed it.
OMG....laughing hysterically here. I have been in that situation at a job. I actually started bringing in my own cooler and I kept it under my desk so no one could tamper with or eat my food! Your tongue in cheek humor is superb. Lydi**

Ah, I don't miss the days of sharing a fridge - with the roomies, with the office mates, or with the ex. Thanks for the chuckle.:)
