'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

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

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 thighs!

 May your Thanksgiving Be Blessed with the Love of Family and Friends!
