When was this kitchen used last?
The sight of it has me aghast.
Look at the orange slime; what’s the cause?
It’s either rust or pasta sauce.
I can’t see the windows, only holes in the wall.
The condition of this kitchen has me appalled.
My advice to you is to tear it apart
or try passing it off as modern art.

This poem tickled me and then I saw that partially open fridge that looks…a little like it might be in shock…and now I’m imagining this being sung by a horrified kitchen appliance (thanks, Disney) 🙂
