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!

M. L. Kiser Date: 12/14/2018 5:06:00 AM 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.
