Wishing Everyone A Very 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!

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!”
