Poetry Thursday: Helliday pudding

holidayspirit_respres

Start with a week
or two
(or four
if you’re really hungry).

Squeeze gently
until each day feels
a little shorter to the touch,
and looks
a little darker to the eye.

Add a pinch too much sugar
or salt
or rum
as desired.

Mix thoroughly
until your arm tires
and the concoction
forms stiff peaks.

Enjoy immediately.

(Note: This will look better
than it tastes.)

Yes ! SO temptingly good looking, but the stiff peaks are always lying in wait.

Thank you for the timely reminder.. just heading out to the end-of-term thang, grinning and going easy ;)
