Prentice Will be Cleanin’
To “California Dreamin” by The Mamas & The Papas

All the cheese is brown,
Sheppard’s pie turned grey.
I’ll go for a walk,
Later on today.

Don’t be misinformed.
I will come save the day.
Prentice will be cleanin’,
at five fifteen, Friday!

So, please stop by the fridge,
You’ll pass along the way.
Please, grab your cream cheese and peas,
and your berry puree.

You know your pasta will grow mold,
and will be thrown away.
Prentice will be cleanin’,
at five fifteen, Friday!

Your Chinese turned brown,
and Pad Thai is grey.
I’ll go for a walk,
Later on today.

Don’t say I didn’t tell you!
Before you leave today,
Prentice will be cleanin’,
at five fifteen, Friday!

One of my best friends and fellow bloggers, Prentice Osborne has this fun thing she does where she writes what she calls a “Fridge Poem” every Friday for her office. She has to clean out the fridge at 5:15, and instead of writing a boring email to remind her coworkers to pick up their leftovers, she makes it fun by writing poems and stories! I love to chip in and do an illustration for them, but usually they’re just cute little sketches. This week, however, I went all out. So here is the illustration and the accompanying poem in their full glory!
