Fruitcake

Fruitcake

Familiar cake it be
For gift to bring to thee
Forlorn it sits at tea
For none will taste but me

Fear not my special treat
Forget what others eat
For me you’re noncompete!

This one was probably the most honest of the fruitcake poems. Forlorn it sits at tea was so cute. It is true. Not many people even gravitate toward it. And yet it stays such a strong tradition. The last part was very sweet to support your love for it! Congrats in my contest.
