Fruitcakes For Me

Fruitcakes For Me

 

Fruitcakes! Fruitcakes! Fruitcakes!

In all shapes and size

Come from the family matriarchs

And will be my Christmas demise

 

Mom brought hers yesterday

Aunt Alma sent hers today

Aunt Ruby’s will be here soon

Grandma and Aunt Ella’s are on the way

 

It seems that every one sends a fruitcake

At this yuletide season of the year

All believe their fruitcake is the best

And know they will all asked together is my fear

 

Alma and Ruby learned from Ella

Mom learned from Grandma too

But Grandma and Aunt Ella

Made fruitcakes together, it’s true

 

So which one is the best, who’s to say

They all four taste the same to me

So what do I do now?

I know, I’ll do a taste test to see

 

It won’t be me doing the tasting

I will appoint the four to be judge

If they can tell one from the other

I’ll relax and just eat Christmas fudge
