I made a salad
Out of all the things that were about to rot
Well, almost
Lettuce that was fresh and nice
Kept in one of those “green bags”
A hardboiled egg
That had been hanging around
For a week or so
Some cherry tomatoes
Had been there for awhile
But still good
Cucumber slices
After cutting off the slimy end
Avocado – had been there a long time,
Managed to salvage
A few good parts
Salad dressing
I had left sitting in my car for days
But it was still good
Yellow bell pepper
I had chopped for another dish
But never used
It was a multicolored feast!
I eat
What others are too proud or spoiled
To consume
I’m not a snob
I’m proud of
Being accepting of all food
Not being picky
