[stylist] oops... The fruitcake poem

[Barbara Hammel]

I love this poem!  Especially the molasses tears.  And the sentiment fits 
many people's opinion of fruit cake.  I've never tried it but don't like 
many things in it.  This was just cute.

Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay 
any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose 
any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.--John 
F. Kennedy

The Fruitcake's Lament

I write this to you, a  fruitcake's lament
But to gain pity is not my intent.
I must protest all  this bashing goop...
Oh who am I kidding?  So here's the scoop!
I am  just some over-baked batter
Laced with sweetness like that matters  ...
Rich and dark with pecan crunchies,
Chewy and gooey.. got the  munchies?
Look...even I would pass me by
But that brandy glaze...mmmm oh  my!
<Rollin my eyes> That is such tripe
So please don't buy into  holiday hype!
I'm really no more than decorated brick
Could sink a ship..  now that's a trick!
I am the gift that gives and gives and gives
And I  know where EVERYONE lives!
So pay no mind to my molasses tears,
I'll be  around a few more years.
And when my recycling days are through
Just  remember what fruitcake did not do for  you!
