Flying Pigsfeet
Flying Pigsfeet
Ann had cooked the pigsfeet. Cat and Alice brought the steaks.
Clare arrived with veggies and Sarah’s tasty cakes.
Family members talked and laughed before we took our seats.
The house was filled with smells of food. I couldn’t wait to eat.
It was a lavish dinner on the eve of Halloween.
The table was bedecked with food. What a scrumptious scene!
We all sat down and bowed our heads while Pete said Holy Grace.
Then everyone began to eat at a wondrous tasty pace.
The steak was tender, the veggies right. Can’t wait for cake and pie!
Poured hotsauce on my pigsfeet when something caught my eye.
All plates began to tremble. The food commenced to fling.
Stunned I was by an eerie sight. The pigsfeet sprouted WINGS !
They hovered over the table. The guests were wide-eyed shocked.
Pigsfeet began to chase us like an evil was unlocked.
One dive bombed and landed on top of Cat’s combed hair.
She dropped her purse and started shouting “Get the heck out there!”
Another raced across the room colliding on Ray’s thigh.
The one I saw came straight at me and barely missed my eye.
The dinner was delicious but no longer was it fun.
The guests had bolted from their chairs and now were on the run.
No sooner had they started, then silence made them STOP !
They peered around the corner and the pigsfeet all had dropped.
What made them fly’s a question. The answer? Not routine,
since we thought terror zone had landed here on Halloween!
Well, that was last night’s dinner but our fears continue on,
for we have breakfast invites and my stomach’s not too strong.
Before you eat those peas and corn, toast or slice of beef;
before you roast those chicken legs, look well at what you eat.
If it turns its head or winks and you miss that single cue,
you’ll think it’s hot and smelling good but this food may eat you!
Then YOU’LL be in the stew! Now give that thought a chew!
That’s all there is! Now I’ve warned you!!
