Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 435 (Oh Fudge)

The Christmas fudge went first-
As soon as I saw it, I knew that I was cursed.

.
One piece after another-
The whole familiy, including the sister and the brother.
.
And, then we came to see-
The empty plate, that included the brownie.
.
Next went the candy-
One more piece, to eat, always came in handy.

.
And, as all of this was going on-
Not one piece, of the fruitcake, was gone.

.
A slice of leftover ham and turkey-
Was the next delight, to be.

.
Once more the fruitcake was out of touch-
For we knew that we didn’t like it very much.

.
After all of the other treats were done-
It looked like the fruitcake, alone, was the only one.

.
As we approached it, we began to shiver-
But, opted instead, to one small sliver.

.
And, before you knew it, we had eaten it all-
No one would admit it though, it wasn’t our call.

.
The next year as we ate a piece of fudge-
Away, from the fruitcake, we would not budge.

.
For it tasted pretty good even though it had a
bad reputation-
Like generations, before us, it is now a sensation.

.
The Christmas fudge went first-
As soon as I saw it, I knew that I was cursed.

The New That Happened To Unfold-From The Old # 177

From the homemade breakfast-
To the instant one that is here to last.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 787 (Monday Morning)

It’s Monday morning, once again-

No more relaxation, no more weekend.

.

Just a hard work week, to see ahead-

Time to get started, time to get out of bed.

.

Time to drink coffee, and head down the road-

To begin that 5 day work week load.

.

But, for just a moment-

To reflect on how the weekend was spent.

.

It was first rate-

To sleep in very late.

.

No schedule, to worry about-

No decisions to make or doubt.

.

Only free time that would last for

2 days-

To have full relaxation, in so many

ways.

.

But, my how that 2 days goes by so

fast-

With the thoughts of how to make it last.

.

It’s Monday morning once again-

No more relaxation, no more weekend.
