'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.
>May your taters 'n gravy
>Have nary a lump.
>May your yams be delicious,
>Your pies take the prize,
>May your Thanksgiving dinner
>Stay well off your thighs!!!
>
>MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING TRULY
>BE A BLESSED ONE THIS YEAR!!!
