I Could Survive On All The Brandied Fruitcakes

I could survive on all the brandied fruitcakes
they make jokes about on TV.
send them please, to this address.

each slice like slicing into the crown jewels:
citron, cherry, red and green, thickets of
raisins, nuts and orange peel

I'd pile them high in my empty fridge
and feast like a Queen
and frigidaire dare you to imagine
how you'd feel if people complained

about getting fruitcakes
when you were hungry

p.s., same thing for the cordial cherries in milk or dark chocolate, please...
