Said the crusty old Bird
‘You just look absurd
And unless I am very mistaken
You wouldn’t even make ham
only bacon’
Said piggy ‘Now don’t you bluster
you old feather duster
for just don’t forget you’ve also a
fate
At Yuletide on somebody’s plate’
Christmas Reckonings
A poem by Margaret A. Holmes from the Holmes Frontier poetry collection: Christmas Reckonings.
