Although January and February have been incessantly sodden and soggy, if this year is anything like the last by June we may be sweltering and drought stricken, making the humming kitchen appliance even more important. A  new medium for verse has been suggested in the form of the fridge-magnet, with warnings about the stage of the food  inside or witty comments on life or the times. 

Not sure how big a fridge-magnet can be so a limit of eight lines per entry for this one (though multiple entries are welcome.) Submissions by 25 May, please, identified as for Competition 73

 

You may have noticed,  yes, I'm  back again.
Next LUPO's out  the First of June.  By then
 I really hope that rain  no longer fills the sky
 And all of us down here stay warm and dry.
 While we stuff gaping offspring in our nests
 With spiders, grubs, and loads of little pests.
