A new bride cooks for the in-laws.

The Fabulous Christmas Turkey

 

By Elton Camp

 

It was the first Christmas party for the new bride

That the in-laws were coming she took in stride

 

She wasn’t too much worried about it anymore

Although she had never cooked a turkey before

 

The one she bought came fresh from the farm

Saying it hadn’t been frozen should add charm

 

To hubby she said, “I want to impress your mother.

For she thinks you should have married another.”

 

She got cooking instructions from the Internet

That it would be a success she was willing to bet

 

Sure enough, it turned out luscious and brown

To the dinner table she proudly brought it around

 

The mother-in laws’ words brought her good cheer

“It looks wonderful!  What did you stuff it with, dear?”

 

It was with a puzzled look on her face that she cried,

“It wasn’t empty.  There was already plenty inside.”
