Ode to the Frozen Burrito
(and other microwaveable meals)
Oh, yon frozen burrito-
So full of beans
And … meat?
Purchasable in bulk or a la carte,
Your mass will sear my mouth,
Fill my stomach,
And keep my GI tract busy for days to come.
And yet, I shall never regret your consumption;
‘Twas in the middle of a scene of the highest excitement-
Sparks sparking, dialogue dialoguing, bad guys bad-guying …
My stomach rumbling.
I needed to eat-
‘Twas pretty sure I ate sometime the day before-
But did not want to spare the time.
Hark! Off to the freezer!
Grab well-wrapped package of questionable meat-products,
Plunk into fair microwave for obligatory two minute cooking time.
Hark! Ideas are raining!
Mind is churning!
Back to the computer,
Fingers fly.
I pause for a moment,
To partake of your offerings.
DAMNTHINGBURNEDMYMOUTH!!
But at least it was fast.

One of our coworkers lived on those things–when he wasn’t eating those nuclear-orange tamales out of a can. I’ve been known to scarf a few Amy’s gluten free burritos, but those are healthy enough to not even qualify as junk food.
I will insist on putting both chili sauce and salsa on burritos though, even though I’ve been burned.
They don’t call them Caliente Pockets for nothing, you know.
Haha, I love this! And I love frozen burritos. I get the bean and cheese variety, so I can avoid the “meat?” in the other ones. And this–always this: “DAMNTHINGBURNEDMYMOUTH!!”
This has to be the most creative entry in the blog hop! Ode to a Frozen Burrito. I love it! Actually, it’s making me hungry. I might go thaw one right now.
Bahahaha, this killed me. This is why I haven’t eaten a frozen burrito in like five years. Great job!
