A THANKSGIVING POEM
~ author unknown ~

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.
 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 '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.
 
 MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING BE BLESSED!!
 

"What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?"
