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.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 638 (Stop That Clock)

The alarm was set and ready to go-

But, what anguish it would cause me

well, I didn’t know.

.

I was supposed to take a nap, and that

is the reason it was set-

But other things got in the way, other

tasks had to be met.

.

The grandbaby needed a bath, and the

water was ran-

I checked the temp, with my bare hand.

.

And, as soon as the baby was in-

The alarm that I had previously set, began

to buzz over and over agan.

.

I had hoped that someone else had been

around-

So that we could quiet that awful shrill sound.

.

But as no one else was there, I continued the

bath, as I had planned-

With that noise in the background being fanned.

.

First it made a regular sound-

And, then alas, it was speed bound.

.

I don’t think I ever slept long enough-

To hear the following sounds that got

rather rough.

.

You’d have to be a bear in hibernation-

To make it through the ending sounds,

that were making a sensation.

.

I had recently changed the battery-

So, to the noise, there was no end, in sight, to see.

.

The baby probably had a shorter bath-

But gee, we had to end this wrath.

.

With grandbaby wrapped and snug in his

towel-

The first thing we did was to turn off that

noise that had gone foul.

.

The alarm was set and ready to go-

But, what anguish it would cause me,

well, I  didn’t know.
