I never really understood

Why you are so well-liked

Thoughts of you make some cringe

But for some reason every year

they need have another taste

More or less for tradition's sake

really it's kind of ridiculous

Not a single person will sit

until the table is graced with it

Before taking your first bite

be sure to pucker up your lips

This is a warning of how tart it is

With a little bit of force

you may like cranberry sauce

Take another bite or two

now it seems way too sweet

Maybe try it with a little meat

Not sure if you like it or not?

Just do what we do, it's okay

Try it again next Thanksgiving Day!
