The logistics of ditched, tossed, expired.

The logistics of ditched, tossed, expired.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

No longer will
the aged become old
for they will be
removed.

I found out the other day
I was labelled.

What!

Yes! Apparently, I have a use by date
and I didn't know.

Really! You are kidding me!

I kid you not, and not only that,
I have a best before date too!

No way!

And guess what?

Tell me quick!

I am past my use by date.
In fact, I have expired!

Get out! You look fine!

I feel okay! Certainly don't feel off.
But my days are numbered when she finds out.

No doubt! How sad!
Well, do tell me what's it like 
to be ..... well you know!

What! Tossed!

Yes, that's the word.

I will! When I reach the other side.

Bye bye!

Yes! See you later!

Oh no! She's coming!

I always use things that are beyond their best by date. It is always wrong. Things are more tasty.

Happy New Years Ken, health and happiness to you!
humorous internal conversations have to be the best ... all else is dreary and dismal eh!? perhaps a solid freeze will put of her "comin' 'round the mountain" :O
