Comet - Not the Other Reindeer (A Tale of Christmas Joy)

T‘was two nights before Christmas and I got this sudden itch, to go and clean out my science experiment of a fridge.

I dashed across the freshly mopped floor and slid my way over to the white-colored door.

Into the door my head did crash, the door flew open and from inside a light did flash.

And what to my wondering eyes did appear, but a spoiled carton of milk and a not-so-ripe pear.

And something red and green that was just so smelly, I’m thinking it a jar of really old jelly.

On the walls objects were splattered, based on a taste test, it ended up being cookie dough batter.

This was a job that required the proper gear. Listen up, for soon about it you will hear.

I armed myself with a clothespin for my nose, a pair of tongs for extricating and even a garden hose.

Over my shoulder was strewn a black plastic sack, the kind known as a “hefty cinch." The kind that would be proudly toted by our mean friend, Mr. Grinch.

I braved my way being really tough, removed the mess and sprayed in some stuff.

“What sort of stuff did you use for your task?” I know this is a question that you are wanting to ask.

On went some Comet, Joy, and Softscrub, and other lemony-scented cleaning products that I just love. 

They all seemed to do the cleaning trick.  It really was a Christmas miracle.  It was simply “Fantastik"!

Happy Holidays!
