I heard there was a secret note
That William Carlos Williams wrote
But you don't really care for sorries, do you?

It goes like this, they're cold, they're sweet
You saved them for a breakfast treat
But from your fridge, I took the plums and screwed you.

@erinbee

You took the grapes you took the limes
But you went too far this time
You stole my only brekker
Jolene

You know that this is zero-sum
Yet you went and ate the plums
And left a poem on the fridge
Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't be William
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take my cold sweet plums
