The Crystal Lakeside Mac And Cheese Special

Poetic Campfire Stories

By Marc OBrienPublished 2 years ago 2 min read

It was the 13th day of cheese

Mac, the star did as he pleased

Decided to head for

The stage door

But Tony stood in his way

“Aren’t you going to stay?

To award the dancing with the song

In a musical fantasy where nothing is wrong”

“I must go

To put on a show

Down south

Where the Delaware Gap opens its mouth

Finally, he went down the toll booth freeway

Using a device, he will pay

Later someday

Travelling through Barron’s made of pine

Scenic, relaxing luring to unwind

Sun flickering a shine

Starting to enjoy this nature time

Until there was a ghost

Protesting, “I was supposed to be the host”

And give the Sardi’s ‘best of’ toast

Staying ever so calmer

Mac saw it was Betsy Palmer

Holding her head high

When closing notices said goodbye

“Come we can go have dinner

We too can act like a theatrical winner”

Mac sat in his car

Realizing things have gone too far

Especially when he hadn’t seen a bar

Hunger started to gain

And Mac thought ‘why should I complain’

About dining with Broadway royal fame

Off to the cabin Mac went

Accepting the verbal invitation that was sent

Betsy took her seat

Staring down Mac who looked like rare meat

“Shall we have something I call the socket

Saw it in the eyeball of a Rockette

Maybe the main course could be lamb

I have a hoofer’s leg since I told them I was a fan

Mac felt his stomachache

After seeing the chorus swinger roasted and baked

“No, I think I will pass

Due to an issue defined as gas”

“There is a station nearby,”

Lovely Betsy did cry

There is a girl there working the pump

Moved here escaping the haunting Donald J Trump

She could really sing

If you are into that thing

But alas

Your troubled pass

And I will have a nice ass

To go with my donkey stew

When you get your cue

Seeing a deadly corkscrew

Coming at you”

“That’s it

I am sick of the spit

I played my part

And you broke my heart”

Then the fight ensued

Breaking tables and chairs which was rude

In the conflicted climax one came out on top

Only to have to explain it to a local cop

“You see I came here

For some cheer

Not to enjoy a lonely deer”

The winner exclaimed

Trying to explain

This Agatha Christie game

When you really want Mac and cheese

Just do as you please

Throw the already prepared version into the microwave

And let dear Betsy Palmer rest in her grave
