Poetry: Leftovers

by Michael Rupp

Created on: November 17, 2009

LEFTOVERS


When one says "leftovers"

Many would say

It brings to mind turkey

From Thanksgiving Day


But why should turkey

Be the high king

Why not some other

Holiday thing?


For the small youngsters

Candy is it

Halloween leftovers

Are a big hit


If you like presents

Then I would say

Christmas Day leftovers

Should have more sway


For fans of fire works

High in the sky

Independence Day leftovers

Are their pumpkin pie


"I like diamond rings"

Is that what you say?

Then you would like leftovers

From your engagement day


Sometimes when we get

To the end of the week

Leftovers from payday

Would give things a tweak


So when you think of leftovers

Keep an open mind

Maybe we all

Need our own favorite kind
