Fettuccine 3-3-10
Not spaghetti, nor linguine
sitting burring on a pantry shelf.
Expiration is just a year away.
What are the chances of seeing that blessed day?
To be thrown out, unopened and uneaten-
Is that that a better fate
than being boiled, covered in alfredo,
mixed with chicken and served on a plate?
Surviving death by fork,
teeth, enzymes, and stomach acids,
just to be dumped in smelly,
cold, dirty, sea-gull infested landfill?
Which is the better way to die?
Buried on a pantry shelf, cramped,
lonely, forgotten, impatient,
waiting for the judgment day.
