Some Might Say Plum Tuckered

I watched a fun video on youtube about the history of sugar plums. When I reread my poem I see that it might come off negative but it is not meant to. 

PC-Pastry Chef; SP-Sugar Plum

 

Plum tuckered from the Polar Express,
off the rails and despairing of goody-
goody gumdrops and sweet words
that impresses many a poetic treat.

Preparation of Victorian sweets, via PC,
dreaded, droll, glorious and interminable.
I’m laughing at you, if you try, Sugar Plum.
You’ll turn colors as a longsuffering victim.

The SP Fairy, flew through the season
of peace and joy, only her tippy toes caring.
Not a fruitcake, herself, to be busy for days,
nor fuss and layer a dobosh torte for hours.

Oh for a taste of that confection. When very young we had our own version. Alas, now I have to stay away from sweets. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2025. Blessings.

A great part of the joy of the season is sharing preparations. Being near loved ones, doing for one another. And prayer. Being thankful for what we have. Wishing you and yours a wonderful New Year!

Happy New Year, Joe! I agree. This was inspired by a youtube video on making Sugar Plums and its history. It was a lengthy process and the meaning of sugar plums and poems, etc.. Quite a fun watch!
