Enclosed find a recipe for Fruitcake
It was a particular favorite around the holiday season.
We had a very "dry' sense of humor.
It seems the ghost of Christmas Past
Leaves us feeling like we've been gassed
Perhaps that fruitcake
Was a coven-bake
And an age-old spell has been cast?
Gummy Santa’s adorning
My fruitcake and dates
Inside with candied cherries,
raisins, walnuts and
Oranges, floating
Fondant red,
Bliss!
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!
famous holiday treat
flavorful, rich, nutty
festive, with candied fruit
fabulous with coffee
fresh-baked or "seasoned"~~Yum
filling~~save room for it
fattening~~eat small piece!
Trump Should Give Us A Break
Trump should try giving us a break;
Not have to do things for his sake;
On horizon a gift,
And him must RIF;
He definitely is nuttier than a fruitcake.

Cinnamon whispers,
golden crumbs cling to my lips~
brandied cherries laugh.
Fruitcake, dense with Christmas joy,
melts like stolen midnight sun.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
IT AINT EVEN THANKSGIVING YET
AND EVERYONE'S FULL OF CHEER
BE WISE WHEN HAPPY
PEOPLE LIKE TO MAKE
MESS OF YOUR MOOD
MERRY CHRISTMAS

I must be nutty as a fruitcake
for attending my sister's
'pre-marital wake'
Sis likened marriage to 'slow death'
She didn't want to run out of breath
So I served her Arsenic 'n Rum in her steak
Jack's Fruitcake
Jack slipped over a banana bread
His feet loafed of slices of lead
Poor sweet little gent
Upside down he went
For he ate the banana peel instead

Funny the way it was then
Feisty teen who loved sweets
Fine icebox fruitcake served
Fruit quite different mixed
From citrus~lemons, limes
Flipped fruit flew from teen's lips
Fantasy taste was gone
Fruit laden circle cake
filled with nuts and jellies
full of flavor and spice
fantastic with eggnog
frequently requested
for family and friends
fine finish by the fire.

Nourishment for body and soul
Eating fresh and raw the way to go
Water in excess helps with weight
Yogurt fresh or frozen taste great
Eating fruit instead of cake

pumpkin spice coffee
or mulled hot apple cider
october magic
pecan pie muffins
cinnamon hot chocolate
as the red leaves fall
white november days
eggnog in the afternoon
sledding at twilight
december teatime
a fruitcake on the table
and cardinals sing
I am a psychopath
a derange
a fruitcake
she looked at me as if I am looney tunes, a
nutter, madwoman, maniac, nutcase, nut.
I stuck out my tongue, causing her to flee
the man in the elevator asked me
where would she go?
We three have been stuck in here for hours
Fruit in every bite.
From love to hate with this treat in sight.
Flavorful as you open it up each night.
Funky by some standards don't take flight.
Fall brings it in for Christmas with pretty lights.
Fancy nuts make it crunchy with delight.
Famous worldwide satisfying many an appetite.
Nutty as a fruitcake
No one wants to be; Nuts
Normally bring to mind
Nature's hard-shelled tree fruits,
Nutritious and yummy.
Naughtily I will add
Nude men are showing two!

'Sweet are the uses
of adversity,
as the heart grows fonder
by diversity,'
as, hoping to raise a smile,
yet nutty as a fruitcake,
I spoke none too fast
at someone fun to poke
but slow on the uptake,
as tho' it takes quite a while,
he who laughs last,
finally gets the joke.
This year, everyone is taking turns in the loo
Since Aunt Judy used Ex-lax in the fruitcake
She didn't know she’d create so much poo
Nor cause us all to have an atrocious bellyache

First you take a little child the younger ones are best
Sit them in a dark cold house, remove all signs of zest
Pack them full of stories all about the world outside
Add a little fear and then you take away their pride
With individuality well and truly crushed
A few more years of mixing and their brains are truly mushed
Holiday baking party;
Cookies of ginger,
Raisins in chocolate suite,
Colored crystals of
Sugar with a crunch;
Pumpkin bread
High!
Pies and sweet-spiced cakes galore,
Bourbon Bon-bon joy;
Popcorn balls, all colored bright,
Fruitcake to delight,
Spiced cider in mugs,
Jam cake too
Thrill!

Midnight, and a single squirrel
with tiny boots and a postal satchel
scurries across power lines—
Santa’s freelance contractor,
paid in acorns and stale fruitcake.
He leaves a walnut for the widow,
a pinecone stuffed with stolen glitter,
and vanishes, tail twitching,
into the frozen yuletide hush.
I think that someone should invent
(And I would be quite glad)
A painless little questionnaire
To check that your not mad
.
A simple twenty questions
Is all that it would take
To say you’re fairly normal
Or a crazy old fruitcake
.
If all the people filled one in
The results could be collated
We could have a central register
And get certificated
