Silence of the Yams Tis hardly worth mentioning but still the words must be said Awake I lay til crack of dawn then I sat up in bed I forgot to make the yams to accompany our family feast the can still sits upon the shelf between green beans and yeast The marshmallow adornment was used for krispie squares I really do apologize if anyone still cares. No one said a word to me that something was awry and suddenly in dark of night I knew the reason why Perhaps no one really liked the yams I prepare each year Maybe they always ate them out of love or out of fear Next year I’ll test my theory amid Thanksgiving plans Then I will know for sure if there’s silence of the yams. |

I saw this title and I said, "dear lord!" hehe kinda cute though. but don't worry, if I was a relative, I'd tell it to ya straight. err well I'd recommend that I should be the one to cook them at least, and if I "forgot" to cook them, oops. ;P~~~ I'll blame it on the holiday rush. hehe actually, I'll be honest and say I've never had any before that I can recall. but then again I usually don't pay attention to what I'm eating cause it all ends up in the same spot anyways. with the same reaction of course. hehe wonderful poem, great holiday humor, and please pass the err... nevermind, you didn't make them this year. ;P |

We had yams, but my sister-in-law didn't have any cranberry sauce. No, I didn't say a word. |

You made my day! There's someone on this earth a lot like me!!! I mean, finding something you forgot to serve AFTER everyone's gone home AND writing about it in a corny rhyme. I so terribly enjoyed this, it's the kind of thing I'd write, but not nearly so well, me thinks! |

Well a holiday without Yams? That's cool by me. Matter of fact my mother-in-law just gave me 2 BIG things of them, and well, this is what I think of Yams...  <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. I don't question YOUR existance - GOD |

I HATE YAMS!!!But I know how you feel. My mom handed the cooking over to me this year, and I COULD NOT FIND THE GRAVY! I didn't notice until my dad asked me to pass it to him! Oh well...
