Making Ice

When I need ice, I fill the trays
With water, by myself,
And place them in the freezer
On the left side of the shelf.

When frozen, I remove the cubes
And fill a Ziploc bag
So they will be there waiting
When a drink I want to snag.

I do not need an automatic
Feature on the fridge
To make my ice, improving life
By just a little smidge.

Some modern day conveniences
Are things we just don’t need
But so many think from drudgery
Such short-cuts keep us freed.
