And Then That Door-Contest

Oh I thank heavens they're all gone now My perfect holiday dinner, yet somehow I managed to shut my mouth ever tight When all hell broke loose Christmas night! "This turkey is tough," I heard them all say It's important I smile in a ladylike way "Oh and did you hear that our Laura is gay and Bonnie announced she's pregnant today!" "Bill's running around on wife number three he marries for money but none does he see!" The kids they keep tossing their toys at the door and their mother just sits, pretends to ignore. Like I said they're all gone and I'm grateful indeed Should you choose to host Christmas beware take heed You'll not be appreciated not even an ounce and all the freeloaders upon you will pounce... But this is my last holiday greeting to host Of this I am sure and most anxious to boast... NOW STOP! Who is that? knocking on my door? No you can't come in! You're placed on ignore! open up let us in..... you must be crazy... get thehelloutta here..... 6/19/15

This jerks at our funny bone in innocent fun. The imagery and story line presented is humorous and strikes a cord of familiarity in our collective memories and hearts. The flow is good and the reader can chuckle at the commonality of the experience. Emile.
