Eat, Drink, and Be Merry

Oreos with chocolate chips Potato sticks with onion dip Drip the cheese all over those fries Three scoops of ice cream and apple pie Frito-lay corn chips beside a guacamole-filled bowl Don't forget those Boston-creme doughnut...holes And how about all the candies and the chocolate cake Something's got to give you a slight stomach ache These are merely appetizers, of course Now it's time for the game, to eat like a horse First comes the turkey, with stuffing and butttered yams Along with sides of potato fritters and honey-glazed ham Throw in a few sirloin steaks with sauteed onions, hot off the grill A Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut'll give your taste buds a thrill Now -- how foolish of me! -- I've forgotten the drinks Left them in a cooler under the kitchen sink ... So let's down a few maragaritas and some imported red wine Y'all leave some room for beer chasers --- in a mug or a stein Yes, fans, it's under two months till Super Bowl Sunday Better start dieting now, so you'll still fit in your undies!

Haha, the dreaded overeating, every house you go to shove food under your nose, and you say just the one. It soon mounts up. Tom.

Whew, now those are appetizers that make getting sick, almost worth it. It's a good thing I can't hold that much. I'd settle for, "Drip the cheese all over those fries Three scoops of ice cream and apple pie Frito-lay corn chips beside a guacamole-filled bowl". Great poem.
