No one else likes Jello but me
In our house there’s a total of three
Whenever I make it the apathy I feel
No anticipation of gelatin formation after a meal
As a kid, it was a sport to have the first and last bite
Rearranged items in the fridge out of strategy and spite
My brothers were crafty, and I knew that Mom or Dad might
Grab a cup in the early twilight
Now my Jello games in middle age are so boring and solitary
My family’s lack of Jello passion is actually quite scary
As I eat my Jello alone and explain what they are missing
My wife and kid shrug their shoulders and simply stop listening
