Ode to a Ziplock Plastic Baggy.

I wrote this for a poetry class in college.  :D  As usual, it's totally silly.

O, the shiny plastic of your
safe encasement
is like a beacon of hope
betwixt myself and my food
not ready to be eaten
but saved for later
better times

The zipper opens forth for me
now as it did once before
Opens with a resounding snap
that says to me "Ahh, I'm ready!"

I reach in with anxious hands
and pull out my savory treat
which somehow tastes better
having been in your caring clutches

O, Ziplock Plastic Baggy
if you or I or we should ever be severed
the world will be a much less convenient place
and my food shall be naked against the changing temperatures of life
