Jiggle Fruit

A Parody of "Jingle Bells"

By Jason APublished 2 years ago 2 min read

Handing you the package

Composed, you try to stay

Over the hill you'll throw it

When I look away

With those nuts mixed in

Making a crunchy delight

You'd rather eat a board

Than take a single bite

-----

Jiggle fruit, jiggle fruit

Jiggle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to gift

A fruitcake today

Jiggle fruit, jiggle fruit

Jiggle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to gift

A fruitcake today

-----

A month or so ago

I thought I hit my stride

But lacked that last gift

Until that brick cake I did eye

It was half price

And colorful for sure

I bought it up quick

And headed out the store

-----

Jiggle fruit, jiggle fruit

Jiggle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to gift

A fruitcake today

Jiggle fruit, jiggle fruit

Jiggle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to gift

A fruitcake today

-----

A week or so ago

I wrapped that cake up tight

With care I made it look

So shiny and so bright

And if they don't like it

One thing is for sure

It could always be used

As a stopper for their door

-----

Jiggle fruit, jiggle fruit

Jiggle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to gift

A fruitcake today

Jiggle fruit, jiggle fruit

Jiggle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to gift

A fruitcake today

-----

Though it might be chewy

Like an overcooked steak

Know that I did try

And give me a break

So if you get a fruitcake

From friends or family

Accept that funky dessert

With happiness and glee

-----

Jiggle fruit, jiggle fruit

Jiggle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to gift

A fruitcake today

Jiggle fruit, jiggle fruit

Jiggle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to gift

A fruitcake today
