Yellow Fellows

These are too green
Those are too ripe
This is my regular
Banana-eating gripe

For a banana aged just so
I am rather finicky
In persuit of that perfect yellow
I can get myself persnickety

So bananas young and old
Sit on my kitchen shelf
And to save trips to the market
I wish for a banana-buying elf

Mishap Recap

The fridge condenser went kaput
The AC coolant flopped
The spot under the kitchen sink
Got flooded and had to be mopped

Plumbing troubles, AC headaches,
And a refrigerator starting to leak?
All at once? Without warning?
All this happened to me this week

A new fridge is on order
The AC got re-booted
The plumbing fix was under 300
Labor being included

I guess my week of mishaps
Could have been much worse
So I put all these toils and troubles
Into this here little verse
