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,

'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,

Your turkey be plump.

May your taters 'n gravy

Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious,

Your pies take the prize,

May your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay well off your thighs!!! Happy Thanksgiving! Don't forget who we're thanking! (Hint: It isn't the Pilgrims, turkey, or cook.)

Tell This To Someone To Make Them Smile.

It's called therapy.

Lights! Camera! Action!

The curtain opened, the lights came on.
The chorus suddenly broke into song.
I knew that the time was finally here;
The time that'd been coming for almost a year.

That's when I was taken by great surprise.
I remembered my lines! And not just a few,
But out of my mouth ALL my lines did spew.

It suddenly came to my recollection,
that acting on stage is like a confection.
You need the ingredients, yes, every one,
for your masterpiece to be perfectly wonderfully done.

So, I not only managed to say all my lines,
But I added I added acting and little hand signs.
The crowd was enthralled, and they waited for more.
So I sang a song, to the roof my voice soared.

I was finished, my masterpiece now was complete.
The audience roared as they leapt to their feet.
I curtsied and bowed as they cheered and they clapped.
And from the stage I went, my energy sapped.

The papers, they gave it a lovely review.
My family and friends said they all loved it too.
So, when everything that needs to be is all said and done
I'm glad that I did it. Acting is fun.

This is just something I wrote for bravewriter this fall.

Real nice. I'm missed, but you're not sure why??!!!

Forever in Blue Jeans

Here's what you can do with a pair of old jeans, a belt, and a really creative friend named Maya...

P.S. Aunt Sarah, you got me these jeans from the thrift store, and I wore them until they got holes. Now, that's recycling!

Breakfast!

Hold the Milk, Put back the sugar
They are powerless to console
We've gathered here to sprinkle ashes
from our late friends cereal bowl.

Breakfast clubbers say the motto
that he taught us to repeat
"You will lose it in your gym class if you wait till noon to eat"

Back when the chess club said our eggs were soft
Every Monday he'd say grace and hold our juice aloft
Oh none of us knew his check out time would come so soon
but before his brain stopped waving he composed this tune

Chorus:
When the toast is burned
And all the milk has turned
And Captain Crunch is waving farewell
When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don't serve breakfast in hell

Breakfast clubbers drop the hankies
Though to some our friend was odd
That day he bought those pine pajamas
His check was good with god

Those here without the Lord
How do you cope
For this morning we don't mourn
Like those who have no hope

Oh rise up Friut Loop lovers
Sing out sweet and low
With spoons held high
We bid our brother "Cheerio"!!!

Chorus:
(Repeat until fade)
