This Is Just to Say
by William Carlos Williams
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
This Is Just to Say
by Minden
I have eaten
the lettuce
that was in
the reusable grocery bag
and which
you were probably
saving
for dinner
Forgive me (meowwww)
it was delicious
so sweet
and so cold
Minden is the only member of Cheaty’s house who hasn’t vomited in the last few days — not even a hairball. It’s probably thanks to the lettuce.

Minden! Eating the lettuce. But if it makes you not puke go for it. I literally laughed out loud at that poem. Minden, you are my new hero. Your mom comes second.
