TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING, 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 '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!!
Happy Thanksgiving
