HAPPY 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.

Your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious, your pies take the prize.

May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!!
