My Avocado Fridge

Our house was built in 'sixty-eight, a long bi-level, brick, and white. A retro queen I was those days, and avocado made it right. The kitchen was my favored place – appliances in "sixties" green; refrigerator, matching stove, completed well that retro scene. For many years they lasted well - and replaced once; the find was tough! But later on, my luck ran out – no avocado kitchen stuff. The second fridge broke down one day; a new one had to come real fast. A plain old white one took its place, and I was left distressed, aghast! My retro strove looked lonely, sad without its avocado mate; Its matching fridge, now she was gone – he knew this soon would be his fate. Oh, how I miss those retro days! Appliance colors were such fun! That avocado cherished green refridge and stove, compared to none! Now stainless, white, is where it's at – appliances, their brilliance lack. Perhaps the pendulum will swing – bring retro avocado back! September 11, 2015
