- This is just my small offering of a bit of humor to add to this
- after Holiday exhaustion. Enjoy!

- Promise
-
- rush around, hurry, hurry
- faces lined with stress and worry
- checking frequently the list
- making sure that no-one's missed
- choices made and quickly changed
- running here and there deranged
- aunt and uncle, father, brother
- children, nephews, neices, mother
- have to get to grocery store
- buy a turkey, sprouts and more
- try to get the baking done
- hell this turkey weighs a ton
- hope I will survive this day
- and if I do I promise myself that I will never do this again
- next year I am going to buy a ticket to the Bahamas and just lay
- in the sun for the entire season!
