Holiday Dinner

Being on time
Almost on time
All my life
Always strife
Making ex cu u ses
Why I am late
Thinking it's stu u pid
When they all wait
Eat the food while it's hot
Please eat the food while it's hot.

(Silent Night)

I say let's eat! If people get upset with being late, why wait. Had to chuckle with this one. Happy Holidays! Karen

LOL! I shouldn't be reading this - could I possibly see this poem pop-up again somewhere else? Oh, Lordy - don't-cha just hate people/friends/relatives who are tardy...UNLESS they arrive bearing extravagant gifts and goodies to excuse themselves LOL! Wishing you and your loved ones Happy Holidays. Peace always, John
