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
