Lord knows how many
Tamales I made,
as the number climbed
my tally would fade.
It was funner than
I thought it would be;
It was nice to spend
time with the family.
Eventually,
there will come a time.
When within our house,
the work bell will chime.
We as a fam’ly
will make our own batch,
and taste wise will be
a savory match.
