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. |

*giggling* Too cute. I have never had yams so I have no idea what they taste like. And I agree, what is turkey without the cranberries.  I laugh right through this poem. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

LOL... I'm still trying to figure out if it's going to be turkey or ham, much less potatos or yams. Hope you enjoy this year's feast. Peace, and thanks for sharing. |

Oh Sharon, this is so true! I found out the same about the brussel sprouts, they eat them 'cause I make them but they hate them! Now this was too funny, and you know what, I hate yams! LOL Happy Thanksgiving to you too!~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ |

This I am printing to put on the buffet table next to my yams....but? I do have a recipe, but just reading it will make you gain 10 lbs!!!! (will send it, but? You'll have to beat the yams and cracks some nuts...hmmm...methinks you'll enjoy just cooking it!) One of my favorites! Thanks for the repost! |
