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.

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.
May your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes and gravy
have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious.
May your pies take the prize.
May your Thanksgiving dinner
stay off of your thighs.

May your Thanksgiving be blessed!!!

A Happy and HEALTHY Thanksgiving to all!!!!
