Dear Egg Nog,

We would drink you on a train,
We would drink you in the rain,
In a trough mixed with pig slop,
Even on a counter top!
Photobucket
On a couch or in a chair,
In pants, or just plain underwear!


{And for you, we'll even SHARE.}

We hate that you're a seasonal slog,
We do not like it, dear egg nog!

We would drink you in September,
in October, in November!

We'd chug you in the summer heat,
We'd sip you in the freezing sleet.

We'd drink in spring when flowers pop up,
We're always game to have a cup!

So, dear egg nog, here's our plea:
After Christmas, please don't flee!

We'll drink you for a resolution, 
and to celebrate the constitution.

We'll drink you in the name of love,
toast leprechauns and  turtle doves.

We'll drink you with the Easter Bunny,
We'll drink you when the sun is sunny.

We'll drink you during any season...
Heck! We'll drink you for no reason!



Xoxo,
Kortland 
and Tennyson

My kids used to love it so much that we would put some in the freezer to save for later. Be sure to pour a little out before freezing so it doesn't expand and burst the carton.

I love your post. Brian and Ethan feel the same way. I will drink my homemade when I make it but love to add the store bought kind to recipes too. It will be missed.

Cute poem! Cute pix! I have an annual contest with my son. Whoever gets the first holiday eggnog from the store calls and says "Guess what I'm drinking?" Then you slurp and smack your lips. I was the winner for 2011. (But I lost in 2010 and 2009.)
