Write me a note

This is Just To Say (by Williams Carlos Williams)

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox


and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast


Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold


(apparently this was in a note written by the poet in a piece of paper and left in the refrigerator for his wife to see)
