The Death of Potato Salad

There were warning signs.

Two pounds of potatoes.

A whole pound of bacon.

Two cups of mayo.

Six eggs and an onion.



I should have stopped when I burned the bacon.



Or when I couldn't peel the hard boiled egg,



but I kept going

and I created a monster.





What could we do with it?

It had to be disposed of.

(Should I bring a flashlight? No. The neighbors might see.)



We didn't have a shovel

so we flung it amongst the trees.



In the ditch behind my house

lies four pounds of culinary carnage.
