FW: HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Evans F. Mitchell KD4EFM / WQFK-894
Wishing you a day spent with good friends, loving family and good food.
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!!
HAPPY
THANKSGIVING TO ALL!
