The Night of Thanksgiving

'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

I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes

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 '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 holiday to everyone!
