Eggnog

Of all the Christmas treats that dazzle,

None is apt to so much frazzle

All my hopes of yuletide cheer

As the eggnog standing near.

Like a romance that's turned sour;

Once a sweetness, now a glower –

Eggnog curdles my ambition

To see Peace on Earth's fruition.

Gooey glop, or gloppy goo,

It's a drink that witches brew

For the weighty guy or gal

Who really needs some Metracal.

How many times must I explain

I'd rather have a seltzer plain?

When for calories I grub

I think I'll stick to syllabub.
