A Poem …. Just a bit of Thanksgiving humor...
Twas the night of Thanksgiving, But I just couldn't sleep. Tossing and turning with anticipation...... I felt myself swelling so plump and so round, I crashed through the ceiling. Floating into the sky.... HAPPY EATING TO ALL !!
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.
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.
Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground !!
With a mouthfull of pudding and a handful of pie,
But I managed to yell as I sored past the trees....................
PASS THE CRANBERRIES PLEASE !!
