A Fruitcake's Lament (Acrostic)

F or Heaven's sakes, what's wrong with me
R eviled, rejected--will I always be?
U nderstanding would sure be nice
I am quite diverse, slice after slice!
T ell the world I'm sorry, I'm not a cheesecake,
C ausing you to smile, and my heart to break
A ccept me as I am, I'm really not so bad
K now me for what good I am, or else, I know I've been had
E nough! Love me once a friggin' year-and that will make me glad!

Author notes

I found this Picture on the Internet. Yet another slam and a low blow for the Fruitcakes of the World!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
P.S. We certainly don't need HIM as the poster child for Fruit Cakes International! LOL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The statement at the bottom of the illustration, however can be our battlecry-if you truly understand, WHO is doing the talking!
