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.....
That 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!!

Personnaly, I like lumpy potatoes....J
