The chocolate-covered strawberries
Were free, as a promotion.
My friend gave me a coupon - "Use it
If you've got the notion."
I brought them home and ate a few
Then stuck them in the freezer.
I didn't love them but I said I did,
So it would please her.
That was a year ago and I'd
Forgotten they existed,
But when I found them, tossing them
Was something I resisted.
You see, my friend who'd coupon-shared
No longer is alive.
It seems ironic that these treats, though,
Managed to survive.
They hardly take up any room
Behind the ice cube tray
So that is where, at least for now,
Those strawberries will stay.
