HAPPY THANKSGIVING...

T’was the night of Thanksgiving,
But I just couldn’t sleep.
I tried counting backwards,
I tried counting sheep.




The leftovers beckoned,
The dark meat and white.
But I fought the temptation,
With all of my might.


Tossing and turning,
with anticipation.
The thought of a snack
became infatuation.


So I raced to the kitchen,
Flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge,
Full of goodies galore.


I gobbled up turkey,
And buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots,
Beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling,
So plump and so round.
‘til all of a sudden,
I rose off the ground.


I crashed through the ceiling,
Floating into the sky,
With a mouthful of pudding,
And a handful of pie.


But I managed to yell
As I soared past the trees
Happy eating to all,
Pass the cranberries, please!!

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious,
May your pies take the prize
And May your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off of your thighs!


Happy Thanksgiving y'all
have a wonderful holiday weekend!!!
