Combinations
I'm trying a brand new recipe
that is claimed to be delishful.
Fresh beans with hue of grue
with butter pat and bacon fat melded.
I served it to my family
and waited for the praises
My tween son smarked,
"This grub you made
is truly vomitrocious".
"It's all you're getting for your brunch,
you better eat it up."
He snarled, "I'll wait for linner
and scraped it in the garbage.
He flundered off and I let him go.
I didn't want the hassle.
The other children squiggled a bit
but ate their food so they left too.
After brunch, I opened my email.
Nothing but infomercials.
The small children were watching The Muppets
and my tween was on the internet.
I settled down to a sitcom and
the peace and quiet was fantabulous.
