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. |

SQUEALING.... YES!!! I read your poetry, you read my mind... I had decided that this year, I would forego the yam thing, but I was hollering at self in my mind--"y'CAN'T do that"-- THEN?  ?I thought: "I know, I'll just print up Sharon's poem and put it in the usual "Yam server" and put THAT on the table!"  THANK YE THANK YE THANK YE... (see how grateful I YAM?) HEH. *snicker* *snort* choke grin... loveyou... hee hee hee-heeeeeeeeeeee.... |

LOL, I love yams, my daughter thinks they are disgusting. Tempura batter fried yam slices, Japanese style, or fresh baked, not canned please. I'm starting to get hungry. PS, I loved the poem title, LOL. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (11-23-2002 10:55 AM).] |
