'Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't sleep. I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The turkey 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!
