Everlasting Fruitcake

Everlasting Fruitcake


(EVERYONE)

A dessert has come to our fam’ly.  

A fruitcake with resolve to stay. 

We’ve offered a reward to take it, 

But can’t seem to give it away. 

We gave it to Henry, our neighbor.  

He gave it to Martha on the bus. 

Then Martha, she took it to Freddy,

And Freddy brought it back to us. 

SPEAKER: Oh no! 


It’s an everlasting fruitcake. 

Just as soon as it’s gone, it will reappear. 

Though we’ve done our best to be rid of it, 

It shows up at our house each year. 


We figured that we could not eat it. 

It's walnuts and dates were kaput. 

It’s so dense, you would not believe it, 

So, please don’t drop it on your foot!   

SPEAKER: Oww! 


We sent it to Norway last summer.  

We put it into a big sack. 

I guess there was not enough postage, 

And we got our ol’ fruitcake back!   

SPEAKER: (Crying) 


It’s an everlasting fruitcake. 

Just as soon as it’s gone, it will reappear. 

Though we’ve done our best to be rid of it, 

It shows up at our house each year. 


(SOLO/GROUP 1)

We tossed it into our big mulcher. 

We backed over it with our car. 

We ran over it with our mower.  

That fruitcake was not even scarred. 

(SOLO/GROUP 2)

We figured it must be resistant.  

Its toughness must be pretty great. 

So we turned it into a football,

That doubles as a paperweight. 


(EVERYONE)

It’s an everlasting fruitcake. 

Just as soon as it’s gone, it will reappear. 

Though we’ve done our best to be rid of it, 

It shows up at our house each year. 


Yes, it’s an everlasting fruitcake. 

Just as soon as it’s gone, it will reappear. 

Though we’ve done our best to be rid of it, 

It shows up at our house each year. 

I wish it didn’t show up every year. 

Yes, it shows up at our house each year! 

SPEAKER: (after doorbell) UGH!  Not again!!! (crying)

CHRISTMAS POEMS:

The Dreaded Christmas Fruitcake

-Kelly Roper


Oh fruitcake, oh fruitcake,
Why are you heavy like a rock?

And why do people keep sending you to me?
I really wish they would stop.


Your texture is like rubber,
And your fruit is chewy like gum.
I think no one would give you as a gift,
If they'd ever eaten some.


I've tried re-gifting you,
But you just keep coming back.
If I have to look at you one more time,
I think my mind will crack.


I really hate to be wasteful,
And I don't like to act rash,
But I can't take it anymore,
You're going into the trash!



Nick the Clumsy Santa

by Nathaniel Kottmeyer


You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall the most clumsy one of all?

Nick the Clumsy Santa,
Fumbling through the Christmas scene,

And if you ever saw him,
You'd see just what we mean.

 

All the reindeer and the elves,
Keep their suits so clean and bright,
But Santa's coat is smudged with soot,
As from the chimneys he takes flight.

 

Then one snowy Christmas Eve,
Santa shuffled through the door,
Dropping gifts and knocking things,
Spreading joy and so much more!

 

Oh how the stockings swayed,
With each stumble and each fall,
Nick the Clumsy Santa,
Sprinkling cheer throughout the hall!

 

His boots in fresh-fallen snow,
His beard with cookie crumb,
For the joy of Christmas cheer,
Turns each mess into cheerful fun.

 

As he climbed back up the chimney,
Leaving traces of his flight,
Bits of tinsel in his hair,
And a twinkle in his eyes.

 

And how we cherished every spot,
A reminder of his spree,
Nick the Clumsy Santa,
Bringing giggles 'neath the tree!

 

So here's to Santa's clumsy show,
Fumbling through the ice and snow,
On his travels, far and wide,
Spreading mirth this Yuletide!


The Night I Met Santa's Reindeer

-Ian Milligan


Sit with me by the fireplace…

I have a story to tell….

Of when I met all of Santa’s reindeer,

And I got to know them well.


Dasher was the social one,

The fastest of the herd.

He loved to party, all day and night.

That’s his statement, word for word.


Dancer had great dance moves,

And loved a celebration.

But what made him stand out, you ask?

His amazing hand-eye-foot coordination.


Prancer loved to bake,

You’d never see him with a frown,

And his favorite Christmas song?

“Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town”


Vixen was gifted at magic tricks,

And loved being the center of attention,

But he often ran late….

A flaw, he forgot to mention.


Comet was laid back,

And incredibly smart….

Always willing to lend a helping hand.

This reindeer has a big heart!


Cupid was so precious…

Didn’t like when her friends were sad,

She would sing “Joy to The World” several times,

Just to make the others mad!


Donner loved to sing,

He had an amazing voice.

For him to have all the ladies’ swooning,

“Let it Snow” was his choice.


Blitzen enjoyed Christmas movies,

In his spare time,

And you could catch him on stage with Donner,

As the two sang joyous rhymes.


And then, there’s Rudolph….

Well, you already know about him.

He was the one with the red nose,

And if you ever saw it….

Even you would say it glows.


So that’s my story of how I met them all,

Such a loving and humble bunch.

Oh, no! Good grief, I must go now!

They promised to take me to lunch!
