Crash Course in Company
The doorbell rang at half past three,
No warning, no invite, just Aunt Lee.
Mom flew to grab the china best,
The gravy boat and cups, all dressed.
She balanced one plate on her palm,
But Uncle Ray gave a booming psalm,
He swung his arms to greet the crowd,
And down came China, shattered, loud.
The platter hit the floor with pride,
The teacups cracked from side to side.
Now Mom stands sweeping, bright and wry,
While guests say, "Oops!" and wave goodbye.
Extra Pepperoni, Extra Guest
I ordered pizza, large and hot,
A pepperoni, cheese, and that's the lot.
The doorbell rang, I swung the door,
The driver grinned and asked for more.
He said, "Your total's twenty-two,"
I reached for cash, but found I'd none for you.
So he set the box upon my hall,
And somehow ended up at my dining wall.
He sat, he ate, he told a joke,
He praised my couch and called it woke.
He fixed my lamp, he stole a fork,
He talked of traffic, roads, and cork.
By dessert he'd earned a chair,
He knew my cat and combed her hair.
Now every Friday, six o'clock,
He rings the bell, no pizza in his stock.
I never order less for two,
For pizza guy's become my crew.
The Cake Ambush
I'd long forgotten it was my day,
No candles lit, no cards to display,
Then came a knock, a jingle, a cheer,
My pals stood grinning, cake held near.
"Surprise!" they shouted, loud and bright,
I blinked in shock, in pajamas, a sight!
They'd baked a cake that leaned a bit,
With frosting smeared on every split.
We sang off-key with fervent glee,
My neighbor joined, then the mailman, free,
So I'm now thirty-six, or so they say,
And I've learned: never trust a cake that's gray!
