Existential Crisis In the Gift Department

In his closet Mort had a skeleton
  Draped o'er an undelivered Peleton
    A bag of bones himself
    Mort was a Christmas elf
  Dined on doughnut holes atop gelatin

A veritable feast and a great dieting aid all rolled into one. Had a giggle… followed by a very light snack ;-)

I eat the donut holes for dessert, after an entree of tablecloth stains and a side of crouton crumbs. ~ Pick E.E. Tur
