Fruit Cake Family Feast
Holiday dinners coming
Time to sit and feast
Moms afraid of infection
She worries about the yeast
Uncle Bobby wants some Turkey
He's picked out the wishing bone
If he is finally Lucky
He won't have to go home alone
Now the Turkey is boneless
The bread is not rising
The gravy is all lumpy
Grandma cukoo is smiling
Little jimmy is angry
He just wants to eat
But his cousin Elizabeth
Is taking toe jam off his feet
I should have stayed at home
With food that isn't gross
But then I wouldn't have seen
Grandpa riding the pot roast
He thought it was a Bronko
He made a big mistake
It never would have happened
If he had stayed awake
Lucky mom still had the ham
The roast had been destroyed
After it had been ridden
It was easy to avoid
Once the meal was over
I was nothing short of glad
I shouldn't tell you about Father
What he did was really bad
He went into the parlor
To let off some nasty gas
Sounded like an explosion
I laughed off my silly ass
My sad tale is now over
Every story has an end
If you don't really enjoy it
Be kind and just pretend
Christmas Dinner With Humor contest.
