Long lost, but still remembered...this little Christmas cake was well-loved by all especially the older folks Very rich and nutty...one piece seemed to make the holidays complete..
In my childhood..., every Christmas dinner-table proudly displayed a fruitcake.on a glass plate...sometimes on a white paper doily. on that plate....
*************************************************
sending you Christmas wishes as big as Mrs. Claus's Cookies....
as bright as the dreams on a Christmas-Eve pillow............

The Dreaded Fruitcake
The poor little dreaded fruitcake
sets so sweetly on its plate...
on the pretty Christmas doily
almost like it lies 'in state'...
It looks dark and moist...inviting
in its candied fruit and peel...
and the nuts...now so prevailing
are the 'icing' on the deal...
but those same old questions ponder...
Too old fashioned? Weight at stake?
As I stand aside and wonder...
why nobody TAKES THE CAKE........!
