Rubber Bands: Around And Around....[food Container Closures; Very Short; Personal] Poem by Bri Edwards

Rubber Bands: Around And Around....[food Container Closures; Very Short; Personal]



My partner uses excessive wrapping to close food bags with a rubber band.
When I go to open up a bag so-closed-up, the effort's almost more than I can stand.
AND she accuses ME of screwing on too-tightly, every stubborn food jar lid,
but (sometimes) she accuses me wrongly. Other times I admit I DID.

(Jan.2013)

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
i STILL say it is the food on the jar threads which works like glue to seal the lids on tightly. i really should lick the threads better to remove the food residue before screwing the jars closed. do you agree? ?

Oh! Here in Pakistan fresh milk is sold in poly bags and the shopkeeper uses rubber band in the manner as Bri described. I take the scissors and cut the neck of this naughty poly bag.
