stuffing
when i asked you what food
i’d be
and you replied
with a ho ho ho
falafel kebab
runner bean
kumara
peach
quail
and then
olive
groper
coconut
lemongrass
a solo snifter
and finally
cheesy quaver
as in crackers
not
french sherry
not those
droplets of cherry rubies
it was perfectly predictable
so i’ve stuffed your stocking
with one of each
for christmas
