Shelf life

Shelf life

 

In a week the bananas rot

But the apples and oranges not

The dried chilli still spices me to tears

Properly canned they may keep for years

Cheese out of milk survive by manyadecade

In my fridge things have never decayed

Why so anti-anticorrosive

I might keep immortal 

If I have much preservative
