Nobody Likes Fruitcake

Nobody Likes Fruitcake By Elton Camp Who would want a fruitcake as a gift It would be far better to receive a fifth Nobody is going to be at all thrilled To get something with calories filled Especially since it is hard and dry To cut or bite it, you needn’t try As a doorstop, a fruitcake is okay So don’t too quickly throw it away Or you can hit an intruder in the head So maybe keep it alongside your bed

My mother used to make a nonbake type of fruitcake that was really quite good. But those from the store or received as "gifts" are generally horrible. Elton
