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.)
