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
IN 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 FELT MYSELF SWELLING
SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,
'TILL 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!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Lynn & Shelly
