I just need a straw and a boat ..................

Twas the day before Wednesday

And all through the house,
Not a creature was dressed
With even a blouse


All the children were snug in winter pajamas galore
Hiding from mom so as not to do chores


The rain had made them lazy as sloths
My coffee had lost all but a spit of its froth


I threw on some clothing
In a hurry I did!
To Kroger, To Kroger I announced
To each kid


They shouted to me,
"No, no, we shall not go,
Leave at once or we'll step on your toe"
I left them, I did, determined to shop
At Kroger, in peace,
Oh what a grand thought


Past the Starbucks I ushered myself
To stick to the list and not buy the
Whole fresh flower shelf


I grabbed at organics,
And delved through the meats
I picked up family size
Of all sorts of treats


As I came to the dairy
My heart did but drop
I saw my true love right there in its spot


He called to me in his black and gold dress
"Pick me, take me, savour me I stress


I have been waiting for you
For 9 whole days
Hoping and waiting for you
To catch my gaze"


I ran to him, snatched him, I will not pretend
So crazy I was I grabbed two of his friends


You are mine! You are mine! So patiently I waited
I knew I would see you on the date Kroger fated


Oh Southern Comfort brand Egg Nog,
I love you I do!
I am yours, you are mine...
And two of your friends are too!!


The four of us we'll be happy together
We’ll sip and we'll gulp
Through all the cold weather


I'll try hard to maintain control
I will hide you from Zac
Who tries to drink you from a bowl


I'll not share with Sky
Who will surely fake cry
But I shall not give in
Even if she plucks the three hairs
On my chinny, chin, chin


Oh Egg Nog I am so glad you came back
This holiday season I thought I might crack


The smooth taste on my tongue,
The sweet slide down my throat,
Just need a straw and a boat
So that I might float
On the Great Nog Moat


You have brought in my holiday
You have brought me great gladness
I will not allow my scale
To weigh in with its sadness

Egg Nog season is officially OPEN!!
