Refrigerator shopping

It's not a difficult process,
you look at the ads
and decide which fridge to can afford
at the regular price
knowing that the money
to pay for the refrigerator
won't arrive until after the sale is over.

Price isn't the issue,
it's which one you can afford
to pay for with cash;
it isn't that your rich
the problem is the reality
of your credit
and an old fridge that runs 24/7,
without mentioning any other problems
with the fridge
now sitting in the kitchen.

Therefore,
you say prayers 24/7
and expect a miracle,
even if the only miracle you get
is that the old fridge continues to work
until you get a new one installed.
