'Twas the Night of 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!!!
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING TRULY BE
A BLESSED ONE THIS YEAR!!!
