Making Light

[heslopian]

Over turkey dad explained
just why two men can't consunmate
their "sacred" wedding vows.
I paused for comic effect at this point.
My fork, having speared
a lump of white meat,
halted in mid-air; I rolled my eyes
then put it back on the plate.
Nanny laughed. She was the only one
who'd noticed my gag.
