Everlasting Fruitcake
Everlasting Fruitcake
A dessert has come to our family. A fruitcake with resolve to stay. Weve offered a reward to take it, But cant seem to give it away. We gave it to Henry, our neighbor. He gave it to Martha on the bus. Then Martha, she took it to Freddy. And Freddy brought it back to us! Chorus Its an everlasting fruitcake. Just as soon as its gone, it will reappear. Though weve done our best to be rid of it, It shows up at our house each year. We figured that we could not eat it. Its walnuts and dates were kaput. Its so dense, you would not believe it. So, please dont drop it on your foot! We sent it to Norway last summer. We put it into a big sack. I guess there was not enough postage, And we got our old fruitcake back! Chorus We tossed it into our big mulcher. We backed over it with our car. We ran over it with our mower. That fruitcake was not even scarred. We figured it must be resistant. Its toughness must be pretty great. So we turned it into a football That doubles as a paper weight. Chorus Yes, its an everlasting fruitcake. Just as soon as its gone, it will reappear. Though weve done our best to be rid of it, It shows up at our house each year.
I wish it didnt show up every year. Yes, it shows up at our house each year!
