Happy Thanksgiving

Twas 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,

'till 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 plumped

May your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump.

 

May your yams be delicious may your pies take the prize,

May your thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.
