Happy birthday, aluminum foil,
Often used after cookery toil.
But recycling is tricky;
You tend to get sticky,
Bringing folks who are green to a boil.

The Perils Of Super Bowl Fare (Limerick)

As our microwave flamed. Was it oil?
We stopped it in time,
And Mark’s wings were sublime.
Lesson learned: They come wrapped up in foil.

(While engrossed in the game, hubby Mark absent-mindedly put his box of Pizza Hut chicken wings in the microwave. Bad idea!)
