3.) everyone should be happy with what they have.

You keep my food cold and crisp all the time
You are good at making cold ice water every time
I can always depend on you to stay on even when I’m not home
I enjoy the fact that you beep when the door is open and is silent when closed
Some people think that you’r a bump on the wall but I think you are
the best of all
You work on low energy and that’s the best of all to save the earth
and that’s not all
You hold my notices and reminders to my mom
You make me work when I always think I am done
