Freezer

Our second-hand industrial freezer
Died with thousands of dollars of pork inside.
We gave it away; a financial hit,
But not a total loss. Our friends ate well.

Years later, with the confidence that comes from
A house built from scratch, Phil researched online.
Then he ordered the parts, tinkered,
Recharged the Freon line, and, happily,
The freezer is currently cooling
Close to two hundred pounds of apples.

And I will hope that after we bring home
Thousands of dollars of beef,
That this fix sticks.
