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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
