My New Years Day To-Do List

It was New Years Eve and I went to bed, With thumping and bumping in my head. The next morning my wife gave me a list, I asked softly, “Honey, what is this?” She told me it was ingredients she needed, “In God’s name for what?” I pleaded. She said the Pork was for progress, “That sounds tasty to me,” I confess. For good luck and health, the Turnip greens. “I’ll have to force those down,” it seems. The Black Eyed Peas are for prosperity, I snapped back, “How can that be?” She did not know and only could say, “It brings good luck on New Year’s Day.” By: Greg Stanley Entry into the “Good Luck Meal” Contest Sponsored by Russell Sivey
