Illusions of Grandeur

There I go again,
Thinking too big.
Illusions of grandeur,
Messing up my wig.
Deeper and deeper,
Into the hole I dig.

A Christmas dinner,
To beat the one before.
Everyone smiling,
And me they adore.
Food so good,
They'll beg for more.

Food sure smells good,
For a minute or two.
There's a smoke smell,
What am I to do?
The turkeys burned,
And the rolls, too.

Illusions of grandeur,
Got me down.
Everyone is hungry,
All they do is frown.
No one wants to eat a turkey,
This golden brown.
