T’was 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
May your turkey be
plump.
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be
delicious,
May your pies take the prize
And May your Thanksgiving
dinner
Stay off of your thighs!
