Fw: Happy Thanksgiving

 

 

 

'TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING AND 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 '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

HIPS AND YOUR THIGHS

 

Happy Thanksgiving!!
