OT - Thanksgiving Poem

Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I could not sleep,
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned - the dark meat and white,
But I fought off the temptation with all of my might.

I tossed and I turned with sweet anticipation,
As 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 & 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.

HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!

Thank you, Sherry. I love that poem, especially the part about staying off
of your thighs. Isn't this a good place for me to remind everybody that it
is Almost Time for the annual, much dreaded, much moaned Polly Christmas
joke? When everybody's over-stuffed from Thanksgiving dinner, they need to
save a groan for me. Polly
