After Thanksgiving – A Poem
Published Jan 01, 1900
I ate too much Turkey, I ate too much corn, I piled up my plate and I ate and I ate. I'm full of tomatoes and french fried potatoes
I ate too much pudding and pie.
I'm stuffed up with muffins and too much stuffin'
I'm probably going to die.
But I wish I had known when to stop,
For I'm so crammed with yams, sauces, gravies, and jams
That my buttons are starting to pop!
My stomach is swollen and sore,
But there's still some dessert so I guess it won't hurt if
I eat just a little bit more!
