A turkey, even if basted, Too long in the oven is wasted. But gravy revives When roasting deprives. It’s gotten so juicy, just taste it!

Gravy Revival
Stale breadcrumb soaked in chicken stock Simmered in a ceramic crock Soon softens and absorbs Lush butter and fresh herbs. And all from bread as dry as chalk.

Stuffing
If buses rattle over streets At least you jounce on comfy seats. Imagine a divan Made from a frying pan Or griddles cushioned by felt sheets.

Griddle Seats
City buses bounce and jolt As though to loosen every bolt. The shocks must be missing, A leak would be hissing. Or is it the potholes at fault?

Because plates are little and shallow A buffet should provide a fellow A bus tub instead, One made out of bread, With compartments for gravy and yellow.

Bread Tub
This heirloom china wants to slip Out of my tremulous grip. But plastic’s less heavy, And nicely holds gravy. It bounces if ever you trip.

Slippery China
Because light and durable dinnerware Is low-class and not debonair, The china that shatters, Those slippery platters, Enliven dining with a jump-scare.

Because a losing player tosses Monopoly boards and their houses Sharp corners await Mom in her bare feet. The agony one board-game causes!

Hasbro makes a Monopoly game Durable because sometimes we blame The board for our troubles. We never roll doubles! So flip the whole board. This is lame!

Board Game Frustration
It’s fun to collect money for passing Go but ahead hotels are massing. Competitors bought The railroads. You’re caught! You can’t outrun landlords by racing.
