Twas the night after Thanksgiving
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 temptations
with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation,
the thought of a snack was 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 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 'tater 'n gravy have narry a lump.
May your yams be delicious,
may your pies take the prize,
may your holiday dinner stay off of your thighs
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
