End.

Advice for the Christmas Cook

By: Kay Kinghammer

When that jolly old gent

Sneaking down your chimney

Miraculously avoiding the soot

That should have stained

His suit,

Suddenly sprouts tentacles,

Tentacles with teeth,

Teeth that rip and tear and bite,

But do not stop to chew-

A Santa who never pauses

To savor

Your flavor,

Even after you’ve stuffed yourself

With Christmas cookies and hot chocolate.

A Santa with such bad manners

Should not be tolerated. So

Grab a bottle of brandy,

Pour it down his maw.

The liquor

Will jell

His ichor.
