A Poem That Brings Back Memories.

Turkey sliced with expertise,

Plates warmed at the ready.

Family and friends united,

Pot of gravy - hold it steady!

Roast potatoes glistening,

Golden and just right,

Kids all looking famished,

Take your time now - Please don’t fight!

Plenty of vegetables,

In bowls with large spoons,

Carrots and peas,

Brussel sprouts shaped like moons.

Cauliflower and Yorkshires,

With parsnips nearby,

Careful with that gravy,

You nearly splashed me in the eye.

My Thoughts

In my head a Sunday Roast represents fun. Devouring Yorkshire puddings and parsnips was a great way to spend time together as a family. Fighting over the last roast potato was a regular occurrence. I miss all that now.
