Eggnog
By KC Bosch
Drinking beer
holiday cheer.
Dark so early
it already feels late.
An unplanned visit
with a full bag of booze.
Ever had eggnog?
Yes, straight from the carton
spiked with PX bourbon.
This is the real thing,
Anne’s family recipe.
Have you made it before?
I don’t remember.
This calls for four
different liquors.
We won’t remember
this either.
