The Family Christmas Dinner

It's Christmas time again And it seems I am the winner Because I drew the short straw To host the Family Christmas Dinner I'm stressing out already Although it's still a month away There's so much to organise I should have started yesterday I will cook way too much food To cater for various dietary ways But at least there will be leftovers Crammed in the fridge for days We will all eat far too much Then some will need a nana nap While others will be arguing About politics and crap The kids will spill their pudding On themselves and on the floor Some sentimental ornament Will be broken, that's for sure Grandad will be shouting Because he's gone completely deaf And Aunty Prue found wandering (Honestly, we thought she'd left) But at the end of the night, exhausted When the dishes are finally done I'll remember the day fondly And look forward to the next one Write a Christmas Poem poetry contest 29 November 2022 Sponsor Constance La France
