"THOUGHTS 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,
till 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!
