Dear Refrigerator,
I am terribly sorry we gave you a name with a silent ‘d’. On behalf of mankind, I’m sorry for thinking it was ‘cool’ to just let you run, forgotten as we open and shut you as we please.

Let me take the time and praise you for the ‘outstanding’ work you did during the FIFA World Cup of 2018, 2014 and 2010.Thank you for having my back while I impressed my judgy guests with the correct temperature of beer that I served to them.
Thank you for being the guiding light at midnight — fuelling inventors, musicians, gamers, people with conscience, people without conscience and people who are not racist.
I thank you for making 40 degrees Celsius a little more tolerable. I promise to treat you well from now on, even in the chilly months of December and January.
Stay cool.
