Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level
A groan about our Christmas Day 2013.

A chapter in the book Geoffrey's Musings.

Our Wish, No Fish.

by Sankey

Why should we bother
'bout Christmas Day?
Sometimes we would rather
just stay away.

While others find their
pleasure in grog,
I'd rather just go out
and feed the dog.

"There's only 2 of you"
was the remark she made,
As her answer to questions
On food choice displayed.

Had we delighted in
Fish, fish, fish,
We certainly would
Have no other wish.

Just thinking of the
many days gone by,
when Christmas fare
widened the eye.

Lots of choices,
and joys could be had.
But this year just fish,
Made the majority glad.

We were really disappointed in the family's offerings for Christmas this particular year. It made us think about doing something on our own the next Christmas.
As a follow up, we did do Christmas on our own in 2014, we then braved the family again in 2015...with some improvement. This Christmas we are doing it on our own, apart from all the other reasons we are finding it far too difficult to travel the long distance to the inlaws anymore. This poem was inspired by a phone call from Mother-in-Law the day after Christmas...Boxing Day as we Aussies and "Old Dart" folks know it. I was prompted to put this up again from a comment from one of my favourite FS members in a recent post of hers about Fresh Fish! Yuck!
I had a good picture on this, from FanArt but it has now gone for some reason.
NOTE: The Contest this was entered for has long gone.
