The Holiday Today I’m in a state of rough Too much guff and too much stuff Ate until I did not dare Stand me up or move my chair. We talked of things that passed each year Each one a toast and drink of beer Didn’t know there where so many Felt like I was slipped a Benny. I said some things that were not true But that’s what beer will do to you. It makes you bloat and float with gloat The more you drank the more you quote. Each one had his chance in time To that we drank and roared in rhyme It was a merry holiday And that’s the last I heard them say I’ll do it again next year But next year I’ll skip the beer. |

'morning, Mr. Seymour  I'm glad that you enjoyed your holiday. I did, too, only I feel stuffed on food. (eating a big meal with my parents and with Gary's parents will do that to you, especially when both our Mom's are such good cooks...I'm not complaining, though. I'm so glad we still have our wonderful parents.) Anyway, it's cold in this part of Florida, too. Well, like Karen said, for us. The sun sure is shining bright, though. Thanks for your fine poetry with my cappuccino this morning. "Love makes the world go around" ~~with love and hugs from Ethel~~ [This message has been edited by garysgirl (11-29-2002 09:33 AM).] |

Sounds like a merry holiday to me. My giddiness came from fact we were able to mix many families together and all got along well....The ham and roasted turkey were delicious, but the deep fat fried turkey got a little singed...but what the heck, they didn't burn down the back porch doing it, and I didn't worry about the meat not being 'done'..and surprising, not too dry...it too, was delicious. Enjoyed your poem a great deal. We stopped at one toast... and that is a good thing! Warm regards, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |
