A Holiday Score

A HOLIDAY SCORE

What to do? What to do?
The pancakes do stick!
The milk is out sick!
So the brethren of eggs
beaten and stirred
resound in yolk
a yodeling
quick
so the grandson’s lips
smack
with satisfaction
so their fingers
can pluck
their electronic guitars — 
for games like sugarplums
dance in their heads,
a holiday score.

Actually Grandpa was making breakfast while Grandma sipped tea with lemon (have a cough) but feel fine other than that!
