Holiday Crisis

The holiday food prepared and ready
a restful sleep lost, your nerves unsteady

The morning reeks of impending doom
a rotten menagerie like stinky perfume

A holiday crisis with no time to spare
the food ruined and nothing to share

With two days left and no time to waste
you run to the store with the greatest of haste

You find a new fridge with high cooling power
and it can be quickly installed within an hour

your holiday saved with a lucky break
as you start all over and remake the cake

-Poem by Justin Germino

This poem inspired by an issue I had last year where my refrigerator overheated right before Christmas and spoiled all of the food in my fridge. I had to quickly look at shopping deals at all the local retailers just two days before Christmas and hope I could find a new fridge and have it delivered same day or next day.

I did compare shopping prices at several local stores and finally settled on a Whirlpool fridge and a store that could deliver the next day, so my holiday crisis was averted last year. Though I must admit this wouldn’t be as big a problem if I would have invested some time in looking at freezers I could have quickly transferred my food from my fridge to a freezer and not lost all of those groceries, but alas I didn’t have a backup.
