Happy Thanksgiving!!



Twas the night of Thanksgiving, I just coundn't sleep,
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.

The leftovers beckoned - The dark meat and the white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.

Tossing and turning with anticipation,
The thought of a snack became infactuation.

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 passed the trees....
Happy eating to all - pass the cranberries, please.

May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes 'n 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!!
HAPPY THNKSGIVING EVERYONE!!

That's so cute! I love the last line (in fact, it's turning into a mantra for me lately as our menu lists just grow and grow). Happy Thanksgiving, Mrs. G
