Happy Thanksgiving One and All!

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!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL !
