[stylist] oops... The fruitcake poem

[KajunCutie926 at aol.com]

To Barbara....
Thank you so much!  I can't eat it but doubt I  would even if I could.  
There is a story in my family that my parents were  gifted with a 'cake' a year 
after they gave the same 'cake' to someone  else...Sometimes I just can't 
help but be a bit on the goofy side and this is  one of those moments..)  
I'm glad you enjoyed...  molasses tears came from  my sister who once told 
my mom that the fruitcake was melting and my mom  responded that it was 
actually tears being shed because that 'cake' knew nobody  liked it...)

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.

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!
